The story of Jesus curing the ten lepers... 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time





October 9, 2016
Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

In today’s Gospel we hear that Jesus showed extraordinary mercy by curing ten lepers and yet only one returned to thank Him and give Him praise and honor.  From time to time we hear about the “80/20 rule,” by which it seems that 20% of a group does 80% of the work or 80% of the donations.  Does this mean that we had a “10/90 rule” going?  Let us all pray today in thanksgiving to God for all of our blessings and let us do so in such a way as it will upset all of the numbers and rules.
