5th Week in Ordinary Time

Mark 7:24-30
*Friends, our Gospel for today, the story of Jesus’ conversation with the
Syro-Phoenician woman, *is one of those famously problematic passages in
the New Testament.



*This poor woman, a Canaanite, a foreigner, comes forward and tells Jesus
of her daughter who is troubled by a demon, and the Lord just ignores her.
When she persists, Jesus says, "I have come only to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel." When she prostrates herself at his feet, Jesus says, "It
is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." Of
course, the woman responds with one of the best one-liners in the
Scriptures, almost all of which otherwise belong to Jesus himself: "Please,
Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their
masters." At this point, Jesus praises her for her faith and cures her
daughter. What’s going on here is really interesting and provocative. The
Syro-Phoenician woman is being invited into a life of discipleship, into
the following of Jesus. She is resisted, not because Jesus is having a bad
day, but because* he *wants the strength of her faith to show itself.*
