Making Friends With The Lord Jesus · Feb 10, 2026 · 13m

The gospel provides us the example of a pagan woman of Syro-Phoenician descent in how she engages with Jesus in a repartee so she could get him to grant her a favor. She was worried about her daughter who was possessed by an unclean spirit. Her humility in the end attracts Our dear Lord to listen to her petition and give in to her request.
