THE GOSPEL
Matthew 15:21-28Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith!”
Nothing can hold back
the brave woman from Canaah.
Not religious boundaries,
not gender rules,
nothing,
when
she
told
him the
needs of her
precious child.
Dear Lord,
give us faith like this unswerving woman.
Make us stubborn. Fearless.
Bold, creative.
Whatever it
takes.
Let us hear, “O, great is your faith.
Let it be done for you
as you wish”
THE FIRST READING
Isaiah 56:1, 6-7
My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
Lord, the door to your
house of prayer
stands open
always.
No locks,
no “members only,”
no first or second class,
no dress codes.
No dues.
THE SECOND READING
Romans 11:13-15, 29-32
For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
Infinite God,
you pour out your
boundless
mercy
and
love,
upon
all who
will receive it.
Fond Father,
thank you for your care.
Please help us and our world
to receive it.
