[Propertalk] lepers

[Ann Fontaine]

As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their
distance, they called out, saying, 'Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!'
When he saw them, he said to them, 'Go and show yourselves to the
priests.' And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them,
when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud
voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he
was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, 'Were not ten made clean? But the
other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give
praise to God except this foreigner?' Luke 17:12-18

No longer
held together
by their
outcast status
those who are free
to join the in-crowd
leave the foreigner
with only God to thank.
