Reflection
This Week: On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus meets 10 lepers and cures them, but only
one returns to express his thanks. How sad Jesus must have felt on that day. It is easy
to walk away and forget about the gifts we receive from others. Let this be a week of
thanks, to our families, our friends, our work colleges, and the people we meet
throughout the day. It is easy to criticises, much harder to express gratitude.
