GOSPEL  REFLECTION

The people in today’s Gospel want to spread the good news about Jesus. Even though he orders them to tell no one of the wonders he has worked, they are so filled with awe that they cannot help but publicise it.

‘Their admiration was unbounded’. What a wonderful description of their experience of the healing they had witnessed, and their enthusiasm to pass it on.
