The Gospel for today provokes some good reflections. We are listening these days to the early curing-stories in Mark’s Gospel. There are many little curings which are statements affirming that Jesus is the Saving Message and Messenger.
The phrase "little curings" seems disrespectful. Was any cure little for those who received it? Was it little power on God's part? Were they little in their impact? Where the people little ones who weren't important? In what sense can any miraculous cure performed by the Lord be called little?
