St Dominic

Jeremiah 31: 1-7; Canticle Jeremiah 31: 10-13; Matthew 15: 21-28

Appearances can deceive

How often our prayers seem to be ignored. Indeed, things can seem to be worse. Our Lord appears to reject the poor Canaanite woman’s plea but in fact He leads her to a deeper faith that the Lord is moved to praise. “Woman great is your faith.” Lord, I do believe help my unbelief.
