12Oct25 (25cO28). We see Jesus heal ten lepers and learn that true wholeness comes when we return to give thanks. Like Naaman, we’re healed through simple, ordinary acts done in faith—Baptism’s cleansing, Confession’s renewal of conscience, and the Eucharist, which literally means “thanksgiving.” We resist sin’s numbing effect, practice daily gratitude, and thank God now for answered prayers, trusting that grateful hearts receive deeper healing and new life in Christ.
