Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

See Homily Luke 4.23

Notes:

Fathers:

Jordan healed by water of physical disease.

prefigures baptism that is rebirth as a baby.

Nice looking river does nothing but spiritual jordan concealed by ugliness

prefigures gentiles saved but not israel (quoting our Lord talking about “in the days of Elisha”)

[me: like Namaan it was Samaritan who was greatful, not the jewish lepers]
