Gospel Reflection–Fr Mark De Battista–The Kingdom Cannot Be Enclosed (Fr Mark De Battista says that in this Gospel the lepper realises it's totally up to Jesus and he is humbling himself in order that Jesus would be moved. And the response, of course from Christ is that he is moved. Jesus heals him, but then he goes and tells him to not tell anyone. This part seems a bit curious. Jesus does this many times, not only in the gospel of Mark, but in other gospels as well. Jesus’ secret couldn't be kept a secret for very long because the Kingdom of God cannot be shut down, even though we're told in today's gospel that Jesus couldn't go openly, people still came to him because the Kingdom of God cannot be enclosed. So, wherever your wound may be, I invite you today to trust yourself to Jesus. Ask him if you want to you can cure me and ask with humility of heart and see what he says to you.)
