La gratitud es clave en la vida de servicio cristiano. Las lecturas de hoy resaltan la relevancia de la gratitud en la vida de todo discípulo. La gratitud nos conduce a alabar al Dios que nos ofrece la salvación. El evangelio de hoy presenta a Jesús sanando a diez leprosos y la narrativa destaca el papel del agradecimiento. “Uno de ellos, al comprobar que estaba curado, volvió atrás alabando

a Dios.” Solo uno reconoció la gran bendición que Cristo les ofreció. Resulta fácil indignarse ante la ingratitud de los otros nueve que jamás responden al don recibido. También nosotros muchas veces ignoramos las bendiciones y dádivas otorgadas, las sanaciones físicas y espirituales que el Señor nos concede. Lo cierto es que nuestra vida, incluso el oxígeno que respiramos, son regalo de Dios. Infelizmente, ensimismados como estamos por el estrés de las borrascas diarias, perdemos el contacto con lo divino. El samaritano reacciona oportunamente al regalo de la sanación. Le agradeció a Dios el don recibido y su gesto se convirtió en alabanza. En virtud de aquella respuesta, Jesús le ofreció algo más que la curación física, le otorgó el regalo de la salvación diciéndole: “levántate y vete, tu fe te ha salvado.” Esto muestra que el agradecimiento es poderoso, pues, ensancha nuestra fe en Dios y nos conduce a alabarlo. www.TheCatholicSteward.com

Gratitude is the key to a stewardship way of life. Today’s readings demonstrate the power and vital importance of gratitude in the life of the Christian disciple, for gratitude leads us to worship God, who offers us salvation. We see the power of gratitude on display in the Gospel passage from Luke after Jesus heals 10 lepers. “And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned.” Only one of the 10 recognized the tremendous blessing he had received from Christ. While it’s easy to feel indignant at the failure of the nine others to return and thank Jesus, how often do we fail to recognize the blessings, answered prayers, and healings (both physical and spiritual), that the Lord showers upon us day and night? The truth is that our very lives and every breath we take are His gift to us. But we can get so caught up in the stresses and distractions of daily life that we lose touch with this truth. The Samaritan reacts to his gift of healing with the proper response to our loving God. He was grateful for what God had done for him and this gratitude led to worship. And because of this response, Jesus offered him a far more precious gift that physical healing; He offered him the gift of salvation. He said: “stand up and go; your faith has saved you.” This shows us that gratitude is powerful. It deepens our faith in God and leads us to fitting worship of Him. www.TheCatholicSteward.com

NEXT WEEKEND we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to support mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe, where priests, religious and lay leaders serve the world’s most vulnerable communities. Please keep the Pope’s missions in your prayers and be generous in next week’s collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Pope Francis has set October 2019 as an Extraordinary Missionary Month to foster greater awareness of “missio ad gentes” and to animate the missionary transformation of Church life and pastoral activity. He has asked each country to highlight a great missionary who shared their life for the love of the Gospel. In the U.S.A., we have chosen Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN, who was martyred in Brazil in 2005 because of her defense of Indigenous people and the Environment. To learn more about her exemplary missionary life, please go to missio.org/resources.
