Lc 17, 11-19
En aquel tiempo, cuando Jesús iba de camino a Jerusalén, pasó entre Samaria y Galilea. Estaba cerca de un pueblo, cuando le salieron al encuentro diez leprosos, los cuales se detuvieron a lo lejos y a gritos le decían: "Jesús, maestro, ten compasión de nosotros".
Al verlos, Jesús les dijo: "Vayan a presentarse a los sacerdotes". Mientras iban de camino, quedaron limpios de la lepra.
Uno de ellos, al ver que estaba curado, regresó, alabando a Dios en voz alta, se postró a los pies de Jesús y le dio las gracias. Ése era un samaritano. Entonces dijo Jesús: "¿No eran diez los que quedaron limpios? ¿Dónde están los otros nueve? ¿No ha habido nadie, fuera de este extranjero, que volviera para dar gloria a Dios?" Después le dijo al samaritano: "Levántate y vete. Tu fe te ha salvado".

GospelLK 17:11-19
As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem,
he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten persons with leprosy met him.
They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying,
"Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!"
And when he saw them, he said,
"Go show yourselves to the priests."
As they were going they were cleansed.
And one of them, realizing he had been 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 give thanks to God?"
Then he said to him, "Stand up and go;
your faith has saved you."

Meditacion:
Hoy es dia de accion de gracias para los que vivimos en Estados Unidos, se celebra la tradicion de una cena que los indigenas prepararon para los hambrientos y recien llegados protestantes de Inglaterra.
Es una celebracion llena de amor, fraternidad y alegria donde las familias se reunen para comer el tradicional pavo asado.
Tambien es la oportunidad para acordarse de lo que menos tienen y muchas Iglesias organizan llevar comida a los que viven en la calle; lamentablemente, el grupo con que haciamos cada año esta accion no logro ponerse de acuerdo este año y esta hermosa accion que ponia en contacto personas que viven en la calle con personas que normalmente no estan en contacto con esta realidad no se podra hacer.
Y hoy nos encontramos con este evangelio tan bello donde contemplamos la curacion de 10 leprosos... pero lo mas valioso del evangelio, es la ultima parte donde de 10, solo uno vuelve a dar las gracias.
Donde nos encontramos nosotros? en los otros 9 o somos el que da gracias a Dios por los favores recibidos cada dia?
Hoy celebramos el Dia de Accion de Gracias.. no nos olvidemos al menos hoy de ser, al menos por un dia, el que volvio a agradecer, el que tiene un alma llena del amor del Padre, el que reconoce, en la mirada del hermano que vive en la calle y no tiene ni las posibilidades ni la vida que nosotros llevamos, al Cristo hermano crucificado.
Si hacemos eso, el año que viene no seremos tan descuidados y celebraremos juntos con los que menos tienen. Amen

Today is a day of thanksgiving for those of us who live in the United States, celebrating the tradition of a dinner that the Indians prepared for the hungry and newly arrived Protestants of England.
It is a celebration full of love, fraternity and joy where families gather to eat the traditional roast turkey.
It is also the opportunity to remember what they have least and many churches organize to bring food to those who live on the street; unfortunately, the group with which we made this action every year could not agree this year and this beautiful action that put people who live in the street in contact with people who normally are not in contact with this reality can not be done.
And today we find this beautiful gospel where we contemplate the healing of 10 lepers ... but the most valuable of the gospel, is the last part where of 10, only one returns to give thanks.
Where are we? in the other 9 or are we the one who gives thanks to God for the favors received each day?
Today we celebrate the Day of Thanksgiving ... let us not forget at least today to be, at least for a day, the one who returned to thank, the one who has a soul full of the love of the Father, the one who recognizes, in the gaze of the brother who lives on the street and has neither the possibilities nor the life that we lead, to the crucified Christ Christ.
If we do that, next year we will not be so careless and celebrate together with those who have less. Amen
