13th Sunday after Pentecost 2024
The undying devotion of even a brute animal towards its master puts us to shame. How much should we love our Savior and how unwilling should we be to leave His side? Today we are reminded of our need for God’s help. The disease of sin that we carry is far worse than that of the lepers in the Gospel. Their disease did not make them enemies of God as ours does. We act as if there is nothing wrong with us, despite our sins. We must never forget what we owe to God, so that we will not remain ungrateful in the face of God’s generosity in our lives.
