Today we reflect on the Canaanite woman who had faith to pester Jesus and his disciples. He rebuked her to begin with but she persisted aned he understood he came for all. He then healed her daughter as she requested.
At times I have asked and felt rebuked, my faith wavered and I said I guess I should forget it. I admire her faith and courage and pray for deepening of my own faith.
I continue to pray for the faith, courage to stand up for those in need. I experience daily the needs of the elderly who society continues to take things away from as they themselves experience diminishment.
This week can we stand up for one elderly person and help them get the services and/or family support they need?
