Your Faith Has Made You Whole by Fr. Patrick Cardine

In this homily, Fr. Patrick explores the connection between faith and love through Christ’s healing of the ten lepers. Fr. Patrick details how the Samaritan’s thanksgiving manifested his faith and opened him to true spiritual wholeness. We are called to stop merely taking and begin giving ourselves to God and others in love, trusting God and giving thanks in all things despite the trials we face. Fr. Patrick is a Priest at St. Patrick Orthodox Church located in Bealeton, Virginia. https://www.stpatrickorthodox.org/about/ More from the Orthodox West: ✝️ Homilies from the Western Rite Vicariate:    • Western Rite Homilies   ⛪Praxis and Teachings Videos with Western Rite Priests:    • Praxis & Teachings   📿The Divine Office:    • How to Pray the Benedictine Office   🕯️ What is the Holy Mass:    • The Mass   ❓Have questions?

He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Gospel: Luke 17:11-19 11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ☦️Liturgical Items for Purchase: 🗓️Purchase the 2026 Western Rite Wall Calendar Here: https://www.stpatrickorthodox.org/cal... 📖Purchase the 2026 Western Rite Ordo Here: https://www.lulu.com/shop/v-rev-john-... #Christianity #OrthodoxChristianity #OrthodoxWest #WesternRite #WesternRiteOrthodoxy #OrthodoxFaith #OrthodoxChurch #orthodoxy #antiochianorthodox #faith #jesus
