Reflection on Today’s Gospel
Discussion Questions: Luke 17: 11-19

  • What makes someone grateful and thankful?
  • Who or what are the “lepers” in our society today? What are modern forms of exclusion and how can our love help bring healing?
  • What do you need to be healed from? Lack of confidence, fears, vices, addictions, attachments
  • Spend time in reflective prayer starting with “Jesus, Master, have mercy on me…”
