Seeking to provide comfort to his congregation, Bishop James DeWolf Perry reflects on the biblical story of Naaman, a Syrian general who is cured of leprosy by the prophet Elisha. Drawing parallels between Naaman's experience and our own spiritual journeys, Bishop Perry urges us to humble ourselves before God and seek his mercy and healing.
