While Jews believe themselves to be God's chosen people,saw the Samaritans as "unclean" to. .
In today's Gospel we find a Samaritan, along with nine other lepers, because all the lepers were banished from the community .
In the state of illness all 10 were equal - the same sickness, the same isolation, the same unhappiness. Then there was no difference between Jews and Samaritans.
But after the healing, they are no longer equal. Only 1 returns to the sourc of cure.His soul also is purified.
The great example of the Samaritan shows us that people who belong to God, should always be grateful to God. In gratitude we let God be large.
Cicero says: "Gratitude is not only the greatest of all virtues, but the mother of all others." From the air to the ground, what we eat and drink what we breathe, all we have and is necessary for life comes from God.
