Youth Ministry Corner

Attention All ‘Teens and ‘Tweens: Wednesday, October 16th

HEALING AND SALVATION  The readings today speak of healing and salva on. In Second Kings, Naaman, a commander of the army of the king of Syria, develops leprosy. He goes to a stranger, a prophet from Israel, when no one else can cure his dis-ease. Much to his surprise, a er a simple bath in the riv-er, he is cured. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus cures ten lepers and sends them to the priest. Only one, a Samaritan, re-turns to thank Jesus for his cure and only he hears the words, “Your faith has saved you.” The psalm and Timo-thy remind us that salva on involves jus ce, kindness, and faithfulness and forever links us with Jesus. In a world as broken as ours, both healing and salva on are necessary. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
