First Reading - 2 Kgs 5:14-17
Naaman went down and
plunged into the Jordan seven
times at the word of Elisha, the
man of God. His flesh became
again like the flesh of a little
child, and he was clean of his
leprosy.
Naaman returned with
his whole retinue to the man of
God. On his arrival he stood
before Elisha and said, “Now
I know that there is no God in
all the earth, except in Israel.
Please, accept a gift from your
servant.”
Elisha replied, “As the
Lord lives whom I serve, I will
not take it.” And despite Naaman’s urging, he still refused.
Naaman said: “If you will not
accept, please let me, your servant, have two mule-loads of
earth, for I will no longer off er
holocaust or sacrifice to any
other god except to the Lord.”

Second Reading - 2 Tim 2:8-13
Beloved: Remember Jesus
Christ, raised from the dead,
a descendant of David: such
is my gospel, for which I am
suffering, even to the point of
chains, like a criminal.
But the word of God is
not chained. Therefore, I bear
with everything for the sake of
those who are chosen, so that
they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus,
together with eternal glory.
This saying is trustworthy: If we have died with him, we shall also live with him;
if we persevere, we shall also
reign with him. But if we deny
him, he will deny us. If we are
unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
Gospel Acclamation - 1 Thes 5:18
Alleluia! Alleluia!
In all circumstances, give
thanks, for this is the will
of God for you in Christ
Jesus.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Gospel - Lk 17:11-19
As Jesus continued his
journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They
stood at a distance from him
and raised their voices saying,
“Jesus, Master! Have pity on
us!” And when he saw them,
he said, “Go, show yourselves
to the priests.” As they were
going, they were cleansed.
One of them, realizing he
had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice.
He fell at the feet of Jesus and
thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply,
“Ten were cleansed, were they
not? Where are the other nine?
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”
Then he said to him, “Stand up
and go; your faith has saved
you.”
