Gospel Reflection

In today’s Gospel, Matthew 10:7-15, Jesus sends his disciples to preach the Kingdom of Heaven, heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, and cast out demons. He tells them to do it freely because they have received it freely. This passage reminds us of the importance of generosity and selfless service.
