In Isaiah we hear that God’s house shall be a house of prayer for all people and that
God will gather the outcasts of Israel. The Canaanite woman in today’s gospel is a
Gentile, an outsider, who is unflinching in her request that Jesus heal her daughter.
As Jesus commends her bold faith, how might our church extend its mission to those
on the margins of society? In our gathering around word and meal we receive
strength to be signs of comfort, healing, and justice for those in need.
