When Our Lord heals ten lepers in Luke 17:11–19, only one returns to give thanks. This homily reflects on why gratitude matters, how Jesus honors the Law by sending the men to the priests, and how a real encounter with God calls each of us to respond personally, not merely as part of a crowd. Drawing on the Gospel and a psychological insight often associated with Carl Jung about authentic religious experience, we ask: What grace have I received—and how will I live my thanksgiving?
