Reading I2 Kings 5:14-17Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven timesat the word of Elisha, the man of God.His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child,and he was clean of his leprosy.Naaman returned with his whole retinue to the man of God.On his arrival he stood before Elisha and said,"Now I know that there is no God in all the earth,except in Israel.Please accept a gift from your servant."Elisha replied, "As the LORD lives whom I serve, I will not take it;"and despite Naaman's urging, he still refused.Naaman said: "If you will not accept,please let me, your servant, have two mule-loads of earth,for I will no longer offer holocaust or sacrificeto any other god except to the LORD." Responsorial PsalmPsalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4R.

Alleluia, alleluia.In all circumstances, give thanks,for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.R. Alleluia, alleluia. GospelLuke 17:11-19As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem,he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying,"Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!"And when he saw them, he said,"Go show yourselves to the priests."As they were going they were cleansed.And one of them, realizing he had been healed,returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.He was a Samaritan.Jesus said in reply,"Ten were cleansed, were they not?Where are the other nine?Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?"Then he said to him, "Stand up and go;your faith has saved you."
