Bertrand Buby, SM ** [Today’s Readings](http://www.usccb.org/nab/) Scripture: Lectionary # 493.Titus 3:1-7. Psalm 23:1-3.3-4.5.6 Luke 17:11-19: We are led by the readings to contemplate Jesus as Savior and healer of all of our ills. In our first reading the title of Savior is given again in an epiphany statement that we will hear at Christmas. It is one of the most consoling of passages in the Pastoral letters attributed to Paul. The word "epiphany" means manifestation. The text is worthy of prayer at any time of the year; it is an uplifting prayer: " But when the kindness and generosity of God our Savior dawned upon the world, then, not for any good deeds of our own,but because he was merciful, he saved us through the water of rebirth and the renewing power of the Holy Spirit, which he lavished upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, justified by his grace, we might in hope become heirs to eternal life. This is a saying you may trust." (Titus 3: 4-8a). This is the second time that Paul is telling us of a manifestation or epiphany of Jesus through the Incarnation. His role as Savior is emphasized and this refers both to salvation and to the power of healing that we see in the Gospel. We remember that Luke is the Evangelist who pictures Jesus as the merciful and healing Savior. Psalm 23 is used very frequently in our liturgical psalm and response. It is very consoling and healing as a psalm and shows us the love that God has for us as a shepherd taking care of his sheep. We are nourished and refreshed at sparkling waters. Even if we wander, Jesus will search out each one of us. No one is an orphan in his love for us. As Savior Jesus cures the ten men who approach him even though they are lepers. They had faith that he could do something for them and are rewarded. To certify the healing they are sent back to the Temple to be approved as clean by the priests or levites. Only one of them comes back to thank Jesus for his cure. He happens to be an outcast, a foreigner, and a marginal person in comparison with the people who surrounded Jesus and the other nine. He was a Samaritan. We remember that the first missionary efforts among them were successful and it is Luke who calls our attention to them both here and in the Acts of the Apostles. We learn that thanking God is appropriate. The Samaritan realized this and enjoyed another cleansing, that of his heart, which led him to saving faith in Jesus as Savior. Not only is he healed externally; he also is thoroughly cleansed and saved. It reminds us of our Baptism for which we should thank God each day. The Dictionary of the New Testament describes the verb to save (sozo or soterein): "The outcome of the action is to heal (equally a meaning of sozo), so that the healings done by Jesus come to symbolize salvation. Faith maintains a vital relationship through which God brings about healing: "Your faith has saved you"; doubt leads to loss, hope guarantees definitive salvation. Jesus did not wish to save himself from death."(Matthew 27:40,42). Amen. ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F11%2F10%2Fdaily-readings-reflection-for-111010%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F11%2F10%2Fdaily-readings-reflection-for-111010%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F11%2F10%2Fdaily-readings-reflection-for-111010%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Daily%20Readings%20Reflection%20for%2011%2F10%2F10) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F11%2F10%2Fdaily-readings-reflection-for-111010%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F11%2F10%2Fdaily-readings-reflection-for-111010%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Guest](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Profile%203.jpg) ### [Guest](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/guest) We welcome guest contributors who graciously volunteer their writing for our readers.
