Today's Gospel says that great crowds of people followed Jesus because he cured so many sick people. The crowds were made up mainly of sick people and those looking after them.

Everywhere in today's world, in poor and rich countries alike, there are great crowds of sick people. Many of them never get to go out. They are unable to leave their homes or hospitals.

Jesus who cured people long ago knows the name and illness of every sick person in the world today. Jesus' healing love is available today as it was long ago.

Jesus' healing love is like a divine website that anyone can access, from home or hospital or wherever. No need to be part of a mobile crowd.
