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?

Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) is remembered as a mystic, a poet and author, an administrator, a religious reformer, the foundress of the Carmelite order and has only recently been recognised as the first woman Doctor of the Church.
Pray the Prayer of St Teresa Respond by journaling responses to the questions: How can I be Christ’s hands and feet in the world in ways that I go about doing good? How can I be the eyes of Christ and look with love on my family, friends and community? Image: Avila - BarbeeAnne - https://pixabay.com/images/id-2420719/ |
