Whether it is not making the team, doing poorly on a test, or embarrassing myself while speaking in front of others, it can be really hard to try again after being turned away. The woman in the Gospel has no problem asking again and again for what she wants. She is turned away, and no sooner is again pleading for help. Her constant persistence, even after she has been denied, is something I really admire and need to do more myself. Also the way this women has complete confidence in Jesus reminds me that I am not the best at everything. Many times I need to stop, think outside myself and remember to put my trust in God.

BERNARD FEAST DAY: AUGUST 20 Western Europe's “man of the twelfth century,” without doubt or controversy, has to be Bernard of Clairvaux. Adviser of popes, preacher of the Second Crusade, defender of the faith, healer of a schism, reformer of a monastic Order, Scripture scholar, theologian and eloquent preacher: any one of these titles would distinguish an ordinary man. Yet Bernard was all of these—and he still retained a burning desire to return to the hidden monastic life of his younger days. In the year 1111, at the age of 20, Bernard left his home to join the monastic community of Citeaux. His five brothers, two uncles and 30 friends followed him into the monastery. Within four years a dying community had recovered enough vitality to establish a new house. His ability as arbitrator and counselor became widely known. The Holy See prevailed on Bernard to Every Monday, 6-8PM, Cholla Room All are welcome to join us for prayer and music. preach the Second Crusade. The ideals of the men and their leaders, however, were not those of Abbot Bernard, and the project ended as a complete military and moral disaster. Bernard felt responsible for the degenerative effects of the crusade. This heavy burden possibly hastened his death, which came August 20, 1153. Saint of the Day at http://www.americancatholic.org.

The Jesus we meet in today’s Gospel seems a bit stand-offish. He appears at first to ignore the Canaanite woman’s pleas to heal her child! Matthew seems to be suggesting that, until this point in his ministry, Jesus himself thought that his mission was only to the Jewish people. When he is confronted by a Canaanite, and a woman at that, he seems baffled. Her sheer determination to make him listen ensures that he cannot continue to ignore her. More importantly, Jesus acknowledges that her faith in him is equal to that of any of the Jewish people he has met so far. In the end, Jesus praises her faith and heals her daughter. Matthew was writing his Gospel for a community of Jewish Christians who had identified Jesus as the Messiah—the One promised by God to generations of the Jewish people. They were aware, however, that the Christian faith was attracting people of other races and other religions. They would, inevitably, have been struggling to work out how this fit with all the prophecies of the Hebrew scriptures that foretold a Messiah who was destined to save Israel. The meeting between Jesus and the Canaanite woman offers them a clue about how to understand this situation. When Jesus is challenged to heal the outsider, his initial reaction is to refuse; but then he sees her great faith, and this far outweighs the fact that she does not belong to the people he primarily came to save. In this story the new Jewish Christian community must have found help to see that their initial reluctance to admit outsiders was understandable, and then to recognize that God plants faith in others too—and that it is faith rather than background that opens the doors into the Kingdom. ¿DE ADENTRO O DE AFUERA? El Jesús que encontramos en el Evangelio de hoy parece un poco distante, pues primero luce como si ignorara la súplica de la mujer cananea para que cure a su hija. Mateo parece sugerir que hasta este momento Jesús creía que su misión era sólo con el pueblo judío. Cuando se ve confrontado por una persona cananea, y encima de todo una mujer, parece desconcertado. Pero después de la clara determinación de la mujer, Jesús no puede seguir ignorándola ni dejar de escucharla. Aún más importante es que Jesús reconoce que la fe que ella tiene en él iguala a la que ha encontrado en otros judíos. Por último, Jesús elogia su fe y cura a su hija. Mateo escribió su Evangelio para una comunidad judeo-cristiana que reconocía a Jesús como el Mesías prometido por Dios al pueblo judío. Sin embargo, también estaba consciente de que la fe cristiana estaba atrayendo a personas de otras razas y religiones. Indudablemente que para ellos eso resultaba difícil al tratar de conjugarlo con las profecías de las Escrituras hebreas, las cuales predecían a un Mesías destinado a salvar el pueblo de Israel.

The next weekends will be held Aug 22-24 in Phoenix, ¿DE ADENTRO O DE AFUERA?, CON’T El encuentro de Jesús con la mujer cananea nos da una pista acerca de cómo entender esta situación. Cuando Jesús se ve desafiado para curar a una persona de afuera, o sea, no israelita, su primera reacción fue de rechazo; pero luego ve la gran fe de ella y eso sobrepasa el hecho de que no pertenezca al primer pueblo que él vino a salvar. La comunidad judeo-cristiana debió haber encontrado ayuda en este ejemplo y darse cuenta de que aunque su renuencia inicial para admitir una persona de afuera podía entenderse, el comportamiento de Jesús les dio asimismo a entender que Dios siembra la fe en otras personas también, y que es la fe y no el origen ni los antecedentes lo que abre las puertas del reino.
