He was also a leper. When he heard a prophet in Israel could heal him, he mobilized an entire diplomatic mission. Silver, gold, royal letters, horses and chariots.Elisha did not even come to the door. He sent a messenger: Go wash in the Jordan seven times.Naaman was furious. He expected drama. He expected ceremony. He expected treatment worthy of his status. The Jordan was a muddy river inferior to the rivers of Damascus. He turned to leave in a rage.His servants stopped him. If the prophet had told you to do something extraordinary, would you not have done it? All the more now, wash and be clean.He swallowed his pride. He washed. He was healed.Jesus told this story in Nazareth, and they tried to throw him off a cliff.📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: 2 Kings 5:1-15abResponsorial: Psalm 42:2, 3; 43:3, 4Gospel: Luke 4: 24-30⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - 2 Kings 5:1-15ab03:18 Psalm Response - Psalm 4208:44 Gospel - Luke 4: 24-3009:43 Reflection - No Prophet Is Accepted🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
