“Let the children be fed first.
For it is not right
to take the food of the children
and throw it to the dogs.”
(Mark 7:27)
Jesus breaks social and cultural barriers to demonstrate God's inclusive love. God's love is inclusive and extends to all people. His grace and mercy are not limited to any specific group or ethnicity. He is compassionate in nature, always willing to respond to sincere faith, regardless of a person's background.
We should look beyond societal divisions and to extend love and compassion to everyone, just as Jesus did. Let us be persistent in our prayers and trust in God's willingness to help us by approaching God with humility and respect, recognizing His sovereignty and compassion.
"Let the children be fed first," He said with grace,
"To take their bread and cast it low, wouldn't be the place."
For in the Master's plan, each heart must know,
The kindness that His wisdom seeks to bestow.
Yet faith can find its way in humble plea,
As even crumbs can heal, for all to see.
A mother’s love, persistent and bright,
Reveals the breadth of mercy in His sight.
Though boundaries set seem fixed and clear,
God's love transcends, drawing ever near.
For in the faith of one, we see the light,
That breaks all barriers, shining ever bright.
Lord Jesus,
You remind us of the order of Your blessings, teaching us to understand and embrace Your wisdom. Help us to seek Your grace with humility and faith, knowing that Your love extends to all who believe.
Grant us the patience to wait on Your timing, and the trust to follow Your divine plan. May we find comfort in Your compassionate care, and share Your love with those around us.
Amen.

THE SYROPHOENICIAN WOMAN'S FAITH
Mark 7:24-30
Gospel Acclamation
Humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save ,your souls.
Gospel | Mark 7:24-30
24 Jesus went off to the district of Tyre. He entered a house and wanted no one to know about it, but he could not escape notice. 25 Soon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him. She came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter. 27 He said to her, “Let the children be fed first. For it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” 28 She replied and said to him, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.” 29 Then he said to her, “For saying this, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.” 30 When the woman went home, she found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
