Mar 10, 2022. Gospel Matt 15:21-28. Thursday of the First Week.

[1] And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. Et egressus inde Jesus secessit in partes Tyri et Sidonis. [22] And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil. Et ecce mulier chananaea a finibus illis egressa clamavit, dicens ei : Miserere mei, Domine fili David : filia mea male a daemonio vexatur. [23] Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us: Qui non respondit ei verbum. Et accedentes discipuli ejus rogabant eum dicentes : Dimitte eam : quia clamat post nos. [24] And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel. Ipse autem respondens ait : Non sum missus nisi ad oves, quae perierunt domus Israel. [25] But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me. At illa venit, et adoravit eum, dicens : Domine, adjuva me. [26] Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs. Qui respondens ait : Non est bonum sumere panem filiorum, et mittere canibus. [27] But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. At illa dixit : Etiam Domine : nam et catelli edunt de micis quae cadunt de mensa dominorum suorum. [28] Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour. Tunc respondens Jesus, ait illi : O mulier, magna est fides tua : fiat tibi sicut vis. Et sanata est filia ejus ex illa hora. Look at the crucifix.  Who is on the cross?  Why is He there?   Introit is Psalm 24 17,18 [17]The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities. Tribulationes cordis mei multiplicatae sunt; de necessitatibus meis erue me. [18] See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins. Vide humilitatem meam et laborem meum, et dimitte universa delicta mea.
