1st Reading: Isaiah 56:1, 6-8
Responsorial Psalm 67:2-3, 5, 6, 82nd Reading: Romans 11:13-15, 29-32
Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28
The First Reading is an encouraging reading for me! I know God is faithful. I am not living my faith to be a robot. It actually brings me life every day. But this reading also assures me that if I keep trying to live the faith and find joy in my relationship with God, He will be faithful and bring me to Him in the end!
"I will bring to my holy mountain and make joyful in my house of prayer!" Doesn't that sound wonderful?!?
Responsorial Psalm follows - O God, let all the nations praise you! I do want to praise God! Our God is so GREAT!!!! He does have pity on us. He rules us with equity (actually - more than fair in my humble opinion!) So, let the ends of the earth know and love him! Praise Him!
The 2nd Reading God's mercy is so great! Even in my disobedience, He still calls me and has mercy on me! and He wants the same for everyone!
The Gospel is also an inspiration to me! The persistence and tenacity of the woman to believe so much in Jesus, that even when he tries to ignore her and send her away - she stays in his face and challenges Him.
Because of her great face, Jesus gave her what she wanted! I want to remember that in my prayer! Persistence. Never give up. Even if I don't see results. God will answer my prayer. I have faith that He will. I will not be discouraged or sent on my way! I believe! I am encouraged that God listens to us!
What a great God we have! let us Praise Him and never stop! What is your deepest desire? Take it to God. Have faith that He will answer you!
Have a blessed Week!
