TWENTY-EIGHTHSUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C

Scripture Readings
- First Reading: 2 Kings 5:14-17, which tells the story of Naaman, a Syrian commander who is healed of his leprosy and returns to thank Elisha and worship the God of Israel.
- Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4, a song of praise and thanksgiving for God's salvation.
- Second Reading: 2 Timothy 2:8-13, which encourages believers to remain faithful to Christ and endure hardships, just as Paul did.
- Gospel Reading: Luke 17:11-19, the story of Jesus healing ten lepers, with only one, a Samaritan, returning to thank Jesus and glorify God.

Reflection:

These readings emphasize the importance of gratitude and faith, highlighting the contrast between those who recognize God's blessings and those who do not. The Gospel reading, in particular, challenges listeners to reflect on their own response to God's blessings and to cultivate a spirit of thanksgiving.
