Haiku of
gratitude and surprise.
Ah, my friend,
Jesus,
you travel to
strange places,
sharing hope and
love.
In the borderland
ten lepers cry to
Jesus:
Have mercy on us!
Cleansing the
lepers,
making real the
reign of God,
revealing God's
truth.
Just this foreigner.
The other nine,
where are they?
Were not ten made
clean?
Foreigners surprise
when they have more
faith than us.
How embarrassing.
A Samaritan
is made the hero
once more.
Another strange
choice.
