MatinsGospel Reflection
All who eat your flesh and drink your blood
live in you and you in them;
for your flesh is the food we need,
your blood is our salvation;
all who eat your flesh and drink your blood have eternal life.
Look to Jesus in the wilderness,
breaking bread and feeding the multitude.
Gospel Reading - Jesus heals Gentiles
24Then he left Galilee and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon,a and tried to keep it a secret that he was there, but couldn’t. For as usual the news of his arrival spread fast.
25 Right away a woman came to him whose little girl was possessed by a demon. She had heard about Jesus and now she came and fell at his feet, 26and pled with him to release her child from the demon’s control. (But she was Syrophoenician — a “despised Gentile”!)
27Jesus told her, “First I should help my own family—the Jews.b It isn’t right to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”
28She replied, “That’s true, sir, but even the puppies under the table are given some scraps from the children’s plates.”
29“Good!” he said. “You have answered well—so well that I have healed your little girl. Go on home, for the demon has left her!”
30And when she arrived home, her little girl was lying quietly in bed, and the demon was gone.

- Literally, “Let the children eat first.”
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
