Psalm: Jeremiah 31:10, 11-12ab, 13
Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28
God’s love is constant and reaches every heart that turns to Him in faith. Like the Canaanite woman in today’s Gospel, we are invited to persevere in prayer, trusting that the Lord hears our cries and responds in His perfect time. May our faith remain steadfast, knowing that His mercy never fails.
