Gospel Reflection:
A Canaanite woman begged Jesus to heal her demon-tormented daughter. Jesus initially seemed to ignore her, then said He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. But her persistent faith moved Christ's heart: "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish."
This episode reveals that persevering faith overcomes all obstacles. The woman was not discouraged by Jesus' apparent refusal. Her humility and insistence are a model for us when we feel God does not answer our prayers. Christ never ignores sincere faith—sometimes He tests it to strengthen it.
If your prayers seem unanswered today, do not give up. Persevere with this woman's humility and trust. God always responds to authentic faith—perhaps not as we expect, but always for our greater good.
🙏PRAYER 🙏
Lord of Perfect Counsel, open my heart to Your divine teaching. Teach me to persevere through every trial so my faith may grow ever deeper. Use me to draw souls to Your loving Heart.
Jesus, I trust in You.
