Thursday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time

Mk 7:24-30

She came and fell at his feet.

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth,

and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

He said to her, "Let the children be fed first.

For it is not right to take the food of the children

and throw it to the dogs."

She replied and said to him,

"Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps."
