By Sarah Bueter, MKLM<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time<\/a>
October 12, 2025
2 Kings 5:14-17<\/a>; Psalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4<\/a>; 2 Timothy 2:8-13<\/a>; Luke 17:11-19<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this week\u2019s readings, those explicitly on the \u201coutside\u201d\u2014 the Syrian, the Samaritan, the foreigner \u2014 show us that God desires healing for all, and they teach us about a faith that \u201csaves\u201d \u2014 a surrender of the self, a disposition of humility and trust<\/a>, and gratitude that begets action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first reading recounts the healing of Naaman. The powerful Syrian general consults the prophet Elisha in a last-ditch effort to be healed of his leprosy. Affronted by the prophet\u2019s instructions to bathe in the Jordan (the least majestic river of his domain), Naaman reluctantly washes only after the urging of his foreign servants and returns healed in body and heart<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Luke\u2019s Gospel reading recalls the healing of ten lepers, and of the one leper, the Samaritan and foreigner, who returns to say thank you to Jesus. Although the Samaritan and Jesus share a different belief system, Jesus tells him, \u201cStand up and go; your faith<\/a> has saved you.\u201d (Luke 17:19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not Naaman\u2019s adherence to the Law, or even his code of conduct that results in his healing. It is not the Samaritan\u2019s body of beliefs, and we know nothing of his code of conduct, that results in healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is God\u2019s grace on display: God\u2019s grace<\/a> is freely given to those with open, humble hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is tempting to equate \u201cfaith\u201d with belonging to a certain group of people or body of beliefs. It is tempting to think \u201cI am right. You are wrong. These people share my beliefs. Those other people are idiots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On one hand, shared faith is essential \u2014 we are a pilgrim people who together share a faith and heritage as children of God<\/a>, as the second reading reminds us (2 Tim 2:11-12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we have died with him<\/em>
we shall also live with him;<\/em>
if we persevere<\/a><\/em>
we shall also reign with him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the same reading tells us: \u201cBut the word of God is not chained (9).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is so much bigger than the boundaries we draw around ourselves. It is part of God\u2019s nature: If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself. God desires healing for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faith for these cleansed lepers is marked by humility, surrender of self, and dependence on God. Naaman must let go of his own idea of control, and the ten lepers recognize their need for Jesus<\/a>\u2019 healing hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where I minister in El Salvador, the expression primero Dios \u2014 <\/em>if God wills it \u2014 is spoken with such frequency that it first rankled my spiritual sensibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you tomorrow! If God wills it.<\/em>
Looks like rain today. If God wills it.<\/em>
Let\u2019s meet up next week. If God wills it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, primero Dios<\/em> sounds trite \u2014 of course God desires our good! But for my campesino neighbors whose livelihood hangs upon the torrential rain we currently experience, primero Dios<\/em> is nothing trite. It\u2019s a shot-in-the-dark Hail Mary pass that the Creator<\/a> will be faithful to them and will protect beans and corn against flooding. Primero Dios<\/em>: we are not dependent on ourselves, but rather on a loving and faithful Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the campesinos incanting primero Dios<\/em>, like Naaman and the healed lepers, we may lessen our sense of control and be attentive to tiny ways the Lord is healing ourselves and our world, so often manifested through the faith of the outsider, the foreigner, and the oppressed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, like the healed leper of today\u2019s readings, we are sent back home \u2014 to be that healing presence in all that is broken and separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LORD has made his victory known;<\/em>
has revealed his triumph in the sight of the nations.<\/em>
He has remembered his mercy and faithfulness<\/em>
toward the house of Israel. (Psalm 98:2-3)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
