A twist on the Sunday routine of blogging on today's readings, instead one of the hymns sung at Mass today, Come to the Water, by John Foley, SJ.
In the gospel reading, a Canaanite woman has the courage and temerity to ask Jesus to help her daughter who is being tormented by a demon. The lesson of the reading seems to be patience and fortitude, on the part of the woman. Jesus reinforces the message that God's love is for everyone. Back to the hymn, which has perhaps the simplest lyrics and the most beautiful message. Take a look and a listen and tell me your thoughts.
