The Canaanite woman in the Gospel is not Jewish, does not know the Law, the Prophets, or the great story of salvation history. What she knows is that Jesus can heal, and on that simple premise she reveals a faith that will not be denied…giving us an example to follow.

Jesus heals the paralytic AND forgives his sins. In other words, an encounter with the Lord is a healing encounter. May we both draw near to Christ and bring others in need – for the healing of body and soul.
Study: Consider an experience where you were sent out to do a task. What was difficult? Where did you find strength to carry it out?
Pray: Is there something you are feeling called to do, but find it challenging? Ask the Lord for the grace to make it happen!
Serve: How can you help those who are doing the Lord’s work right now? How can you support missionaries, service groups, and those who care for the sick?
Mass Readings – 14th Sunday of the Year
The Gospel of Luke recounts how Jesus sent out 72 disciples. Note these features:
And they are successful! They return to Jesus, rejoicing that even demons are cast out by the power of the Lord’s name.
What a powerful reminder that we, too, are sent by the Lord. God calls us, empowers us, and directs our lives to bring faith, hope and love to those who cross our path. Let’s apply the Gospel reading then accordingly:
Christ sent out his disciples with great success, and he continues to call forth disciples today to continue his saving work. May we respond with open hearts as we make a difference among the people God places before us.
Mass Readings – 11th Sunday of the Year
Forgiveness is often difficult, yet it is one of the defining features of the Christian Life. We start by forgiving those closest to us, seeking to say “I’m sorry” and “I forgive you,” and then calling upon the Lord for the help and strength we need.
