Details 

- In today's Gospel, we can easily imagine that the disciples are annoyed by this woman. Nowadays, we would call that harassment and we would press charges ... 
- The fingers of the rabbit in the right are clenched, so are his ears. His left ear says it's had enough. His right ear is pointing towards the one who's bothering him. He's not even looking at the woman anymore, his eyes are looking up to the sky, as if he was talking to God.


Questions 

- When we've exhausted all that we could do, without success, this annoys us. Sometimes, it is at that moment (and only at that moment, alas) that we shout towards God. We're even ready to do anything (or almost) to get rid of what's annoying us. 
- What about me, how do I understand this word for the week to come ?
