从感谢到期望
让我们感谢创造者天主：天主，你在创世时无酬地因爱而创造了我们，赐给我们生命。让我们也感谢牧者天主：天主，你在创造我们时，同时造了一个世界，使这世界成为我们安居的草场和水旁，为我们提供食粮和饮料，使我们一无所缺。当我们对这世界愈知得多，就愈发觉你给予的是多么有用。你对我们的给予，足以让我们因你恩赐的幸福而感受到你的慈爱。让我们再感谢救者天主：天主，你因我们走入幽谷，而派耶稣来治愈我们，如同治愈癞病人一样，还赐我们圣神之恩去成义，使我们可以因给予的力量走出阴霾，使我们有机会能像那位治愈的撒玛黎雅癞病人一样，走到你的足前感谢你。我们要特别感谢这重生和更新之恩，因为那是在我们达不到义德和功劳时，你对我们所展示的怜悯。我们从过去的经验中学会了活在天主的慈恩中，对我们的将来，我们如何不期望天主?？天主啊！我们信靠你，请你带领我们到天上的耶路撒冷，使我们在世上的生命结束时，能住进你的殿里，能继续在你的幸福与慈爱中，赞美称颂你，直到永远。

Tit. 3:1-7
Ps. 22(23): 1-4,5,6
Lk. 17:11-19
(Ps Wk IV)
It is while the ten lepers were on their way to show themselves to the priests, in response to Jesus' command, that they discovered themselves being healed; though only the foreigner among them returned to give thanks.
In the spiritual life it is precisely in the journey of striving to understand God's ways that growth and fruitfulness happens. It is in our seeking that we are found. Most importantly we will discover our deepest desire achieved not in our arriving but in our journeying, not in the finding but in the searching.
Jesus has already found us even as we go in search of him. Our healing takes place along the way we are travelling. Gratitude mirrors God. "The best prayer is to rest in God's goodness and let that goodness touch our deepest need." (Julian of Norwich a fifteenth century mystic) The samaritan was able to recognise this goodness of God. The other nine were more elated by the cure and forgot the source. Do I journey through life oblivious of God's goodness and action in my life?
