The Church celebrates today the Feast of St. Scholastica, the supposed twin sister of St. Benedict. We learn through her life the importance of choosing love over all other things in life. Through love we indicate our commitment to live in imitation of Christ; if we choose to love, we have at our disposal the power to overcome all things. Let us never lose sight of the power of love in our lives and relationships.
ALLELUIA
R: Alleluia, alleluia
Humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls.
R: Alleluia, alleluia
Mark 7:24-30
24 Jesus went to the district of Tyre. He entered a house and wanted no one to know about it, but he could not escape notice. 25 Soon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him. She came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter. 27 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.” 28 She replied and said to him, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps.” 29 Then he said to her, “For saying this, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.” 30 When the woman went home, she found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
