28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sunday, 10th October 2010

Jesus said: “Were not all ten made clean? The other nine, where are they? It seems that no one has come back to give praise to God, except this foreigner”. One of the worst experiences of human living is that of being taken for granted – and it is also one of the most common. It reduces us to being objects of service to others and can easily result in resentment. But those who suffer most from ingratitude are those who are ungrateful. They become very self-centred and gradually lose touch with the wonder of life. They cannot smell the beauty of the flowers or hear the wonderful song of the birds. They don’t notice the sun shining or appreciate the greatness of the changing seasons and the magnificence of the world we live in. And they miss the real experience of being loved. They are living dead. Come alive through gratitude.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R
