“LORD, EVEN THE DOGS UNDER THE TABLE EAT THE CHILDREN’S SCRAPS.”
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Prayer Prompt before reading MK 7:24-30: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father and God the Son are so that I may know who I am.
The Syrophoenician woman is a non-Jew and a foreigner. She is unclean according to Jewish law. She has not been raised in Jewish ways and does not understand or know about the story of God and His chosen people of Israel. This is why Jesus says, “Let the children be fed first (Jews).” She perseveres, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.” She understands that she is not worthy but she believes Jesus has the power to heal her daughter whom she loves.
Faith consists of complete trust in God, vulnerability, and total surrender to His will. It’s hard. In the most difficult times in your life, the worst addictions, the hardest sin, do you believe God has the power to help you through it? Do you believe Jesus is right there with you in that suffering, that temptation? If not, what do you put your faith in? What do you believe?
As we are about to embark on another 40 days in the desert, we will be fasting, praying, and giving alms. This is a great checkpoint to see how strong your faith is. What parts of your life or sin is leading you away from Christ? Is your faith lukewarm? Do you desire holiness? Ask Jesus to increase your faith this Lenten season!
Today’s challenge: Faith begins with hope. Pope Francis said that Christian hope is born in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a belief that begins in your heart. When we realize we cannot do life on our own, we fall to our knees and ask God for help. We then start a journey of faith by seeking Jesus Christ and we sit and begin to learn about Him in the Scriptures. Once we have discovered the joy that Christ brings, we want to share it, which is love.
God, please increase in me faith, hope, and love.
Be a servant, be a saint today!
#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; We will live again!)
This is saying that even the people whom others put down the most have just as much of a chance at becoming great in the eyes of God.
The woman whose daughter had a demon in her was a Greek and this shows that people from all the way across the Mediterranean came to Jerusalem just because they heard about Jesus. The faith in this lady is incredible because she walked over 1,000 miles with someone to get to Jerusalem and that is an incredible amount of faith.
What I got from that was that if I see that someone is hungry, then other them my food to them!
Today in the Gospel, it shows us that God’s mercy is not limited by race, ethnicity, or background. Jesus loves us no matter what and who we are. This idea resembles the Gospel today. A woman comes and lays at Jesus’s feet. She is a Greek, and a Jew. Jesus loved her so much that he healed her daughter. The woman believed and was so hopeful of Christ, that she believed that even the tiniest crumb could heal her daughter. That is how we need to believe in Christ. We need to trust in his plans and what He has in store for us.
“She replied and said to him,
“Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.”
Then he said to her, “For saying this, you may go.
The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
When the woman went home, she found the child lying in bed
and the demon gone.”
This part stuck out to me due to it saying that God can send out demons, he can help us. We just need to believe that he can and will help us. If we do not believe why would he drove out demons? There is no point if you wont believe. The Lord is capable of many incredible things, we just need to believe.
in today’s Gospel, Jesus healed a woman’s child from a demon. Jesus saw that the woman knew that she is unworthy and still asked Him to heal her child. Just as the woman we are unworthy for God’s love because it is so great, and He knows that. But He still gives us His love.
In today’s gospel, Jesus tells us to trust in His plans for us and ways. The woman and her daughter believed in Jesus so much! We need to trust in Him like they did. Having trust in God is the most important thing in life even if we don’t believe it or think so!
In the Gospel the Syrophoenician woman believed in Jesus, enough that she fell at his feet and begged him to drive the evil spirit out of her daughter. That woman believed and that’s our problem, we don’t. We need Jesus, if we don’t we might have the same problems and we’re need Jesus’ help to clean her. We need love and Jesus places that right in front of our faces and we take it for granted. Sometimes we don’t even take it. We have Jesus and Mary and Joseph and God and all the angels and saints that love us and care for us yet we don’t take that love. A lot of the time we don’t take the love from our neighbors. And THATS what’s wrong with us. We need to take his love. Yet we don’t, so fix it.
“Faith consists of complete trust in God, vulnerability, and total surrender to His will. It’s hard.” During your worst times, instead of sitting in hurt we should believe that God is with us through it. What really stuck out to me was “Once we have discovered the joy that Christ brings, we want to share it, which is love.”
Jesus says to let the children be fed first not the dogs. God does not punish you and send you to hell. he gave you so many options and you chose to not choose him.
this shows that no one is unworthy of Gods compassion and love and that he will love us no matter what and he cares about us when we don’t care about him that is what is so good about him that he will always love and forgive us
The passage from Mark 7:24–30 shows the encounter between Jesus and a Syrophoenician woman, serving as a profound lesson on humble faith, persistence, and the inclusive nature of God’s grace.
The Gospel shows how merciful God is to all of his children. Sometimes we all think that we are just not cared about or not enough. We all have a Father who loves each and every one of us and we can always talk to him about our struggles.
What really stood out to me was this “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.”Then he said to her, “For saying this, you may go. It stood out to me because he healed her because she said a few words.
Jesus drives a demon out of a girl and helps her so from Jesus’ example we should help under people who need help such as donating to charities and volunteering.
She has not been raised in Jewish ways and does not understand or know about the story of God and His chosen people of Israel. If she can become a catholic off of no one in her family being catholic anyone can be a catholic.And if you are already a catholic stay a catholic your inter life do not stop going to church and receive the Eucharist every Sunday and pray every day and follow the 10 commandment to go to heaven.Be a good person!
Good Morning, in todays gospel Jesus went to the district of Tyre. He entered a house hoping no one would notice but it was impossible, a women’s daughter had an unclena spirit and wanted it cleansed. The women fell to her knees and begged and so Jesus was merciful and healed her.
In today’s gospel, Jesus is walking through Tyre and finds a woman whose daughter is possessed with a demon inside her. Jesus heals her and the demon leaves her body. Jesus is trying to say that we should try to heal others and to love other people.
Today’s gospel talks about a woman who wants to drive a demo out of her daughter. Jesus talks about how it would not be right to give the children’s food to the dog. She responds that the dogs eat only the table scraps. I think when she said this it was a symbol that they are humble. Doing this she showed her following of God’s beatitudes and laws so he cleansed the daughter.
In the Gospel today a Greek woman begs Jesus to heal her daughter of an unclean spirit. I find it interesting that they mention she’s Greek and that Jesus didn’t even go see the girl like he did with the Roman soldiers.
In todays gospel says “Then he said to her, “For saying this, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter. ”When the woman went home, she found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.” God doesn’t need to be present for him to preform miricals. He is all powerfull. Just because he isn’t visibly present doesn’t mean he isn’t working miricals in your life.
In this Gospel Jesus heals a daughter. This shows that faith can save anyone. The woman shows her immense faith by believing in Jesus even though she is from a different religion. Jesus has a lot of mercy and he healed a woman’s daughter even though she was unclean.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus drives out a demon of a young girl. By casting out the demon He shows us that He can drive away sin and fear . If we turn to Him for help we ourselves can be helped and saved by the love of Jesus.
if you believe in Jesus he can save from your sin. only if you trust in him can he save you. like the woman in the gospel she was not a Jew she was poor but that didn’t matter Jesus didn’t see that what he saw was a believer she believed him so she was saved her daughter was saved all because believed.
This shows me how merciful God is to his children. God drives out a demon from a girl. So this shows us that he can drive out sin and fear from us.
The Gospel today taught me that Jesus is always looking out for you. Even though the girl wasn’t with her mother, Jesus still healed her. We may not notice that Jesus is always with us and healing us. We should be like him. We should pray for others, donate, or hang out with them.
Today Jesus heals a sick women. It shows that your faith can heal you. Following Jesus is not a waste of time. NO, He is the way the truth and the light. Who will save you if you ask. He may not give you want you want. But He will give you what you need. He heals people through their faith. If your faith is weak you will not have enteral life in Heaven with Him for all eternity.
Today’s gospel is telling me that Jesus will always put him children first. He loves us uncontrollably and will do anything for us.
“She replied and said to him,
“Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.”
Then he said to her, “For saying this, you may go.
The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
When the woman went home, she found the child lying in bed
and the demon gone.” I think this is saying that Jesus told the woman that he daughter would be safe and that the devil will never come to her again because he told her to do what he asks.
Trust in Him and you will do great things.
True faith is a complete trust in God even through the hardest time in your life. God has the power to help you pull through your times of struggle and soar higher than ever. If you believe your faith isn’t complete or full, ask God for his help and your faith will grow stronger.
The part that really stuck out to me was when Jesus told the Syrophoenician woman to feed the children first but out of pity that the dogs steel the children’s scraps Jesus casts out the demons from the daughter right there.
“Let the children be fed first. For it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” Jesus compares this woman to a dog. She replied with this “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.” Jesus praised her response and the demon left her daughter. Jesus seemed to not want to heal her daughter at first. He questions her and she answers correctly. This is like our life when we pray to God and ask him for something we do not receive it instantly. He tests our faith and if it still stands strong he fulfills our prayers.
What standed out the most to me was this paragraph, “Faith consists of complete trust in God, vulnerability, and total surrender to His will. It’s hard. In the most difficult times in your life, the worst addictions, the hardest sin, do you believe God has the power to help you through it? Do you believe Jesus is right there with you in that suffering, that temptation? If not, what do you put your faith in? What do you believe?” It’s saying that even in the most difficult times of your life, you will get through it eventually. With Jesus by your side, he will walk you through this dark time.
Amen, Khloee! Absolutely, praying for all of those out there suffering a difficult time or situation right now! Invite Jesus in, offer up your suffering for other’s who are suffering or for the atonement of someone else’s sin. Please pray for me as well!
In today´s gospel Jesus casts out a demon from a girl. This shows that he can do all things. W should have no fear through him.
Jesus didn’t want anyone to know that he was staying in an in. But a woman and her daughter appeared and she asked God to remove the demon out of her. Jesus drove the spirit out of her and he showed us that he is not afraid of sin or fear.
In today’s Gospel Jesus is in the town of Tyre. He goes to a house wanting to be unnoticed, but a woman came whose daughter had a demon Jesus then drove out the unclean spirit. This is a great example of God’s loving and kind forgiveness. He loves us and wants the best for us even if we fall. He is always there to pick us up again.
what i got out of this gospel is that Jesus was trying to go into a room by him self but as he wqas walking in he saw a women and she said to him to help her daughter to drive out her demon and so he did when he said to her let the child eat first.
Faith consists of complete trust in God, vulnerability, and total surrender to His will. It’s hard. In the most difficult times in your life, the worst addictions, the hardest sin, do you believe God has the power to help you through it? Sometimes it’s really hard to remember that God can help us through the hard times, and sometimes when we pray our prayers aren’t answered in the way we want them to be. That can lead us to thinking that if God is so powerful and almighty then why would he give me this pain, or why wont he take this pain away from me. We as Catholics have to just trust in Gods plan of salvation, because in reality Jesus dying on the cross wasn’t the end. It was just the beginning of God’s great plan of salvation to permanently save us from sin and death so we can be with him and in him forever in heaven.
“Faith consists of complete trust in God, vulnerability, and total surrender to His will.” we have to be open to loving God. God loves us and is always there even when we arent there. When we put full trust in Him we are opened to a much better holy life.
¨Faith consists of complete trust in God¨. Being a christian is so hard because we have to believe in something we cant see. We have to believe that we are praying to someone who does love us eternally without not ever seeing him face to face. That´s why faith is the center of our religion.
“Let the children be fed first.
For it is not right to take the food of the children
and throw it to the dogs.” What this means to me is that God loves and value each and every one of us and will take care and provide. God not only gives us physical food but also spiritual food when we receive the eucharist in mass.
I really like today’s Gospel because it’s talking about a girl with a demon and she speaks the truth about the children and in return God casts the demon out of her. This just proves how amazing God really is and what all He can do for us.
I think the gospel is saying that in the eyes of God we are all equal. Sometimes it feels like some people were born with more and that our lives are less. But God came to save everyone. God gave us all a chance to be saved. No matter what sin youve committed or what race you are Jesus came to save ALL of us.
“Faith consists of complete trust in God, vulnerability, and total surrender to His will. It’s hard.” You have to trust in God no matter what because He is always going to be the person that’s going to help you. You have to just talking to Him and ask Him to help you and He will because He helps everyone in the world, all you have to do is trust Him.
In today’s Gospel I think God is telling me that we should not hold back our thoughts from Him. If we want Him to do something we can ask but he does want it to happen. It does not matter just trust in God and ask even if it is a no be grateful that you realize what he is telling you. He wants us to ask He wants us to depend on Him so, we should depend and ask and have a true relationship with Him.
In the Gospel today Jesus drives out an unclean spirit in a girl. He also tries to go unnoticed through crowds but cannot. This shows that people are starting to believe that He is the Messiah.
what I think the Lord is trying to tell me is, that Jesus did not care that the women was not a Jew he was still going to help her because Jesus loves everyone with his whole heart. It doesn’t matter to him what color we are what we believe in what we did. in his eye we are all perfect even though sometimes it doesn’t seem like it.
In today’s gospel Jesus talks about the Syrophoenician woman and how she is a non-Jew and a foreigner. the Jewish law states that she is unclean and she also hasn’t been raised in Jewish ways and does not understand the story or know about the story.
In today’s Gospel, a woman comes to Jesus for him to heal her daughter. She comes to him showing faith and trust, just like we should strive to show. God’s love is a given gift that some of us take for granted, because it is not always easy to remember to keep Him first. Thats what we are here on Earth for.
today jeaus talk about how we must have great faith for great things to happen
