There were many lepers in Israel .
Yet none were cured except Naaman.
When will our time come, we cannot tell.
Our fate is of every man and no man.
Why does God act in one moment .
Why this particularity.
Can we try and discern more in Lent.
Does he just choose and act in his charity.
Out of the whole history of the Universe.
Why did he choose that place and time.
Can we ever put time forward or into into reverse.
Can we ever understand his reason and rhyme.
And thus all is mystery.
And part of our future and history.
…….
Of this we are sure
No prophet is accepted
In his own country
…..
See Luke 4 24-30
