Wednesday 4 July

Amos 5:14-15, 21-24; Psalm 50; Matthew 8:28-34

Thy will be done

When we pray, we often have the outcome we would like, and even the means of obtaining it, all mapped out in our minds. In the challenging Gospel of today we read of an unexpected response from the innocent men tending the pigs when their animals were taken from them to facilitate the healing of the demoniacs. When Jesus' response is unexpected, do we, like the swineherds, rush off to tell the whole story about Jesus throughout the district?
