Year of the Eucharist Twelfth Sunday after the Pentecost
Gospel: Matthew 15:21 - 28
Readings: Ephesians: 3:1 – 13 “With faith everything is possible.” Jesus assures us of this through this Gospel.
The woman was not from the tribe of David. but she had enough faith in Christ that he answered her plea. Jesus cured her daughter and said to her “Woman, great is your faith.”
Jesus went to Tyre and Si’don to seek out all people to preach his word. Jesus’ answer to the women was, ‘we can not take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.’
Jesus’ words were to question her faith.
The Woman answered by accepting little if anything from Jesus. Her faith was so great that Jesus fulfilled her wishes.

The Transfiguration of Jesus August 6 THE DIVINITY of Christ was made manifest to Sts. Peter, James and John when Jesus appeared before them on Mount Tabor and his face and clothing shone radiantly.
His appearance before the apostles was confirmation to them of his relation to the Church and his role as the son of God.
A feast in honor of the Transfiguration has been celebrated in the Christian churches of the East since the fifth century,
In the Middle Ages, as interest grew in the Holy Land and the various sites connected with the life of Jesus, this feast was established in the Western Roman Empire.
Lord Jesus Christ, Through your Transfiguration on the mount, Strengthen our hearts lest they be broken by the scandal of the Cross. Enlightened by your grace, May we share in the brightness of your glory.
