In today’s Gospel Lesson we read of Jesus’ encounter with ten lepers who come to meet Him as He travels along the border between Samaria and Galilee. They call out: “Jesus! Master! Take pity on us!” (Lk. 17:13). Jesus responds with compassion, by curing all ten, but only one — a Samaritan — finds time to give thanks to Him. Jesus asks, “The other nine, where are they?
