28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke 17:11-19 Gospel Reflection Today’s gospel reading follows immediately after last Sunday’s reading. This linkage is important, because it helps us appreciate Luke’s presentation of this incident, as expanding the teaching on ‘faith’ in last Sunday’s gospel. The other nine, where are they?
