This is the second time within the month that the Gospel about the Canaanite woman is read. A non-Jewish woman comes to Jesus on behalf of her daughter who is possessed. The disciples want her to go away and Jesus rebukes her saying that his mission is confined to the Jewish people. Her faith is obvious and her need great. Jesus’ mission opens to all.
We are your people. We kneel before you with gratitude for being created, redeemed and sanctified.
