2 Kings 5:14-17Luke 17:11-19

A reading from the second book of Kings.

Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times at the word of Elisha, the man of God. His flesh became again likethe 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 thatthere 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."

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

The Lord be with you. And also with you.A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke. Glory to you Lord.+ May the gospel always be on my mind, + on my lips, + and in my heart.

As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepersmet him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!" And when he sawthem, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he hadbeen 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 givethanks to God?" Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2616 Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during his ministry, through signs thatanticipate the power of his death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer of faith,expressed in words (the leper, Jairus, the Canaanite woman, the good thief) or in silence(the bearers of the paralytic, the woman with a hemorrhage who touches his clothes, the

tears and ointment of the sinful woman). The urgent request of the blind men, Have mercyon us, Son of David or Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! has-been renewed inthe traditional prayer to Jesus known as the Jesus Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,have mercy on me, a sinner! Healing infirmities or forgiving sins, Jesus always respondsto a prayer offered in faith: Your faith has made you well; go in peace.St. Augustine wonderfully summarizes the three dimensions of Jesus prayer: He prays for

us as our priest, prays in us as our Head, and is prayed to by us as our God. Therefore letus acknowledge our voice in him and his in us.

Catholic Study Bible

Lk 17, 1119: This incident recounting the thankfulness of the cleansed Samaritan leper isnarrated only in Lukes gospel and provides an instance of Jesus holding up a nonJew(18) as an example to his Jewish contemporaries (cf 10,33 where a similar purpose isachieved in the story of the good Samaritan). Moreover, it is the faith in Jesus manifestedby the foreigner that has brought him salvation (19; cf the similar relationship betweenfaith and salvation in Lk 7,50; 8,48.50).

Luke 17:18 Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?

Luke 17:19 Then he said to him, Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.

Luke 7:50 But he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

Luke 8:48 He said to her, Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace. 49 While hewas still speaking, someone from the synagogue officials house arrived and said, Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer. 50 On hearing this, Jesusanswered him, Do not be afraid; just have faith and she will be saved.

4th century prayer rope used by the Desert Fathers to count repetitions of the Jesus Prayer In the 7th century , St. Eligius (c.588-660) wrote of making a chair adorned with 150 gold and silver nails to aid in the praying of the Psalter of Blessed Mary, which

substituted one Hail Mary for each of the Psalms. In the early 8th century , Venerable Bede (d. 733) attests that churches and public places in France and England had prayer beads available for the faithful to use. c. 1075 Lady Godiva refers in her will to "the circlet of precious stones which she had threaded on a cord in order that by ngering them one after another she might

count her prayers exactly" A rule for anchorites in mid- 12th century England gives directions on how 50 Hail Marys are to be said divided into sets of ten, with prostrations and other marks of

reverence. It is recorded in 12th century Mary-legends (Marien-legenden) that a certain Eulalia was told to pray ve decades slowly and devoutly instead of 15 decades in a hurry. It is recorded by a contemporary biographer that St. Aibert, who died in 1140 , recited 150 Hail Marys daily, 100 with genuexions and 50 with prostrations. 1160 Saint Rosalia is buried with a string of prayer beads 1214 traditional date of the legend of Saint Dominic's reception of the rosary from the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of the Rosary It is recorded of St. Louis of France ( 1214 -70) that "without counting his other prayers the holy King knelt down every evening 50 times and each time he stood upright

then knelt again and repeated slowly an Ave Maria." Mid-13th century word "Rosary" rst used (by Thomas of Champitre, in De apibus, ii. 13), not referring to prayer beads but in a Marian context. 1268 A reference to guild of "paternosterers" in Paris in "Livre des mtiers" of Stephen Boyleau. Early 15th century , Dominic of Prussia, a Carthusian, introduces 50 mysteries, one for each Ave Maria c. 1514 Hail Mary prayer attains its current form. 1569 Pope Pius V established the current form of the original 15 mysteries 1587 A Book on the Rosary entitled Rosario della Sacratissima Vergine Maria by Ven. Luis de Granada is published in Italian1603 Tractatus de Rosario de B. Virginis Mariae

by Francisco Arias is published 1597 rst recorded use of the term "rosary" to refer to prayer beads. 1917 Our Lady of Fatima is said to ask that the Fatima Prayer be added to the Rosary. Her visionaries state that she also asks for the Rosary to be said to stop the war,

and as part of the Immaculate Heart's reparation. 1974 Pope Paul VI issues the Apostolic Letter Marialis Cultus which devotes 14 sections to the use of the rosary within the Roman Catholic Church. 2002 Pope John Paul II introduces the Luminous Mysteries as an option for Roman Catholics in an Apostolic Letter on the Rosary, Rosarium Virginis Mariae.

2666 But the one name that contains everything is the one that the Son of God received in hisincarnation: JESUS. The divine name may not be spoken by human lips, but by assuming ourhumanity The Word of God hands it over to us and we can invoke it: Jesus, YHWH saves. Thename Jesus contains all: God and man and the whole economy of creation and salvation. Topray Jesus is to invoke him and to call him within us. His name is the only one that containsthe presence it signies. Jesus is the Risen One, and whoever invokes the name of Jesus is

welcoming the Son of God who loved him and who gave himself up for him.2667 This simple invocation of faith developed in the tradition of prayer under many forms inEast and West. The most usual formulation, transmitted by the spiritual writers of the Sinai,Syria, and Mt. Athos, is the invocation, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on ussinners. It combines the Christological hymn of Philippians 2:6-11 with the cry of the publicanand the blind men begging for light. By it the heart is opened to human wretchedness and theSaviors mercy.

2668 The invocation of the holy name of Jesus is the simplest way of praying always. When theholy name is repeated often by a humbly attentive heart, the prayer is not lost by heaping upempty phrases, but holds fast to the word and brings forth fruit with patience. This prayer ispossible at all times because it is not one occupation among others but the only occupation:that of loving God, which animates and transgures every action in Christ Jesus.
