Reflect
In today’s reading, Jesus heals the daughter of a Canaanite woman. This woman was not Jewish, and her ancestors had lived in the area before the tribes of Israel settled there hundreds of years earlier. What did Jesus say to her at first? How did she respond? For what did he commend this woman? In what ways do you demonstrate your faith?
Pray
I praise you, Lord Jesus. Your amazing love breaks through barriers of race, ethnicity, and culture. Help me to grow in faith and glorify you. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
