20170809 Gospel Mt 15:21-28

At that time Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, "Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon." But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, "Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us." He said in reply, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But the woman came and did him homage, saying, "Lord, help me." He said in reply, "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters." Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Reflection:

Ka-obserbahan nato dinhi an kakulitan nan Canaanite na babaje para kaloy’an sija ni “Lord, Son of David” na tambajon an ija anak na tagpa-antos nan demonyo.

Pero bagan waya lama’y pagpaka-bana ni Jesus sa hangjo nan babaje, dugangan pa nan suhesityon nan Ija mga disciple na bugawon ini kay para dila, masamok man lagi kuno ini.

Dinhi na naghatag nan pulong si Jesus na tagpadaya kuno Sija para sa mga nawaya na karnero nan bayay ni Israel.

Amo na tungod sa kakulitan nan babaje, tag-eksamin ini ni Jesus pinaagi sa paghatag nan statement na dili kuno kon angajan na kuhaon an pagkaon nan mga bata para ihatag sa mga ido o iro.

Abtik ‘sab an babaje na notubag kan Jesus na mokaon man gani kuno an mga ido nan mga kanat nan mga bata na nanga-huyog sa lamesa nan ija amo.

Intubag ini ni Jesus na halayum gajud kuno an pagtuo nan ini nan babaje ugsa waya Nija kawanga an hangjo nan ini amo na natambay an bata unabes nan jadto na mga oras.
