13th October 2019 – Sunday 28C (COCU 60C)

ON BEING MADE WHOLE
(Luke 17:11-19)
‘Unclean’, unwanted:
ten borderland pariahs
healed by Jesus’ grace.

One returned, healed, whole –
the alien, praising God
and thanking Jesus.

The one from ‘outside’
sometimes points to the priceless
we take for granted.

How can we be whole
with some still driven to live
beyond the margins?         Jeff Shrowder, 2019
