Morning
Invitatory Psalm 84
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
....
O Lord of hosts,
happy is everyone who trusts in you.
Psalms 97, 98, 99, 101
Daily Lectionary Reading, Matthew 15:21-28
21 From there, Jesus went to the regions of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from those territories came out and shouted, “ Show me mercy, Son of David. My daughter is suffering terribly from demon possession. ” 23 But he didn’t respond to her at all. His disciples came and urged him, “ Send her away; she keeps shouting out after us. ” 24 Jesus replied, “ I’ve been sent only to the lost sheep, the people of Israel. ” 25 But she knelt before him and said, “ Lord, help me. ” 26 He replied, “ It is not good to take the children’s bread and toss it to dogs. ” 27 She said, “ Yes, Lord. But even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall off their masters’ table. ” 28 Jesus answered, “ Woman, you have great faith. It will be just as you wish. ” And right then her daughter was healed.
