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

What comes our way

The Lord has saved his people … guarding them like a shepherd guards his flock. This is because God loves us with an everlasting love. In such a context we can appreciate the healing of the daughter of the Canaanite woman. We are grateful for what God’s mercy may do for us – even for a few scraps from the master’s table. Often it can be a three course meal!
