Episode Transcript
1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,091
Jesus heals ten lepers
2
00:00:03,091 --> 00:00:06,312
as he walks on the boundary between Galilee and Samaria.
3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,152
He doesn’t pick favorites.
4
00:00:08,289 --> 00:00:11,420
He doesn't just heal people from his people, his friends.
5
00:00:11,664 --> 00:00:12,809
He heals them all.
6
00:00:13,213 --> 00:00:16,084
However, the only person who returned to give thanks
7
00:00:16,084 --> 00:00:18,529
was the stranger, the Samaritan.
8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,501
And Jesus tells him not only he is healed,
9
00:00:21,501 --> 00:00:22,613
but he is saved.
10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,557
“Your faith has saved you.”
11
00:00:25,145 --> 00:00:28,081
Salvation is beyond healing and rescue.
12
00:00:28,417 --> 00:00:30,333
Salvation is being aware,
13
00:00:30,333 --> 00:00:32,887
knowing and responding to the love of God.
14
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,832
Knowing that Jesus loves us
15
00:00:34,832 --> 00:00:36,117
and loving in return.
16
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:39,910
In salvation we are transformed and changed.
17
00:00:40,613 --> 00:00:43,089
God loves everyone without distinction.
18
00:00:43,471 --> 00:00:44,948
God’s love crosses
19
00:00:44,948 --> 00:00:47,132
and ignores the boundaries of this world,
20
00:00:47,132 --> 00:00:49,535
He loves every people, land and nation.
21
00:00:49,886 --> 00:00:52,765
God invites every one into this salvation.
22
00:00:53,551 --> 00:00:55,733
If we want to be a follower of Jesus,
23
00:00:55,733 --> 00:00:57,417
a bearer of His love,
24
00:00:57,417 --> 00:01:00,000
we too must foster a sense of gratitude
25
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,049
and thanks like the healed Samaritan.
26
00:01:02,423 --> 00:01:04,442
We need to take time in prayer,
27
00:01:04,442 --> 00:01:07,447
to know and give thanks for the gift of God in our lives.
28
00:01:07,791 --> 00:01:09,271
To know this salvation.
29
00:01:10,133 --> 00:01:12,328
We too need to look like Jesus
30
00:01:12,328 --> 00:01:14,197
beyond the divisions of this world.
31
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,740
Pope Francis before he started his pontificate
32
00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:20,235
invited the Church to go to these boundaries,
33
00:01:20,235 --> 00:01:21,291
to the periphery.
34
00:01:21,596 --> 00:01:24,465
Not only to divisions between nations,
35
00:01:24,465 --> 00:01:28,282
but the divisions caused by sin, pain and injustice,
36
00:01:28,282 --> 00:01:29,569
and of indifference.
37
00:01:29,942 --> 00:01:32,862
We are called to go to those difficult places.
38
00:01:33,472 --> 00:01:36,155
And there we need to be challenged
39
00:01:36,155 --> 00:01:40,092
to experience and know that God is even there
40
00:01:40,092 --> 00:01:41,790
in those darkest of places.
41
00:01:42,303 --> 00:01:45,018
To know God, and proclaim the Good News,
42
00:01:45,018 --> 00:01:48,097
invite everyone into the Salvation of Christ.
