Luke 17:11-19
11 On the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, 13 they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" 14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were made clean. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. 16 He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? 18 Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19 Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well."
Prayer for the Day
Almighty God,
you have given us a land in which to live,
a place in which to dwell:
give us eyes to see it for a good place.
You have given us a life to live,
tasks to fulfill, people to love:
give us eyes to see it for a good life.
Save us from resignation and despair.
Help us to bloom where we’re planted,
that we may display for your glory
a life worth living
and well-lived. Amen.
