Delivered by Kezia from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Titus 3: 1-7; Rs psalm 23: 1-3a.3b-4.5-6; Luke 17: 11-19.ASKING SOMETHING MORE THAN HEALING Our meditation today has the theme: Asking SomethingMore Than Healing. Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours (France) is also known as asaint of generosity. He was born to gentile family. His father was a Romansoldier and in his youth he was already a soldier. At the age of 18 he wasbaptized to be a Catholic. One of his famous stories was when as a soldier in thearea of Gaul (now France), he returned from an army duty while riding hishorse. He met a beggar who was freezing to death. Martin only had an army coatattached to his body, yet he cut the coat in two, half of which was put on thebeggar. Upon arriving at a church he prayed and in a vision he found Jesuswearing the half his coat. Martin then left the army and entered religious lifeand became a Benedictine monk. Then he was appointed bishop of Tours. In line with the generosity of Saint Martin, SaintAmbrose of the city of Milan once said in his sermon, that the stomachs of thepoor, the houses of widows, the mouths of children are the valuable treasuresthat will last forever. Helping them is indeed a treasure that opens our way toheaven. God will bestow abundant graces to those who are generous for those inneed. The ten lepers that are presented in the Gospel today belong to thiscategory of the needy. They asked to be healed, just as poor people ask formoney or food. This seeking for a relief is interesting for twosignificant reasons. The first is on the level of the economy of pastoral whichdeals with corporal gain through the works for supporting the needy ones. Acompassionate heart that touches and restores one's life is more complete thanbegging for a particular healing. When we ask for a big relief or restoration,automatically some little pains and sickness are included in healing. That poorbeggar indeed asked for something more than simply the coat of Martin. The 10lepers asked that they be accepted, removed from the barriers of enmity, beunderstood, be forgiven of wrongdoing and be blessed by God. They really askedfor a complete restoration and freedom. And the second is an act of faith when we asksomething to the right person who will give what we need, and that person isGod. If it is not God in whom we ask for, it will be true that we would obtainonly partial or imperfect healing. However, we truly believe in whom we askfor, namely the Lord, we are certain that what will come out from Him is allgoodness and truth. He has all the compassion and healing graces. He providesrestoration of body and soul at the same time. When we are sick or suffering, weshould ask God for something more than just getting healed. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... Father Almighty, fill us with graces ofmercy so that we can proclaim this grace with enthusiasm and openness to ourneighbors. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In thename of the Father ...
