Don't Stop, Ever
Manage episode 185477162 series 1027297
20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
In the Gospel today, a pagan woman approaches Jesus asking Him to heal her daughter. Jesus' actions should bother us: First, Jesus doesn't respond. Second, He rejects her. Third, He insults her. Then finally, when she refuses to stop, He works a miracle for her. What is Jesus doing? He's coaxing out of her an extreme act of faith and perseverance. Have you ever asked for a deeper faith? Does it ever seem like some of your prayers haven't been answered by God? Maybe He's trying to do the same thing with you that He was doing with this woman in the Gospel - maybe He's trying to call out of you an extreme act of faith; maybe He's trying to grow in you a heroic faith!
