Gospel : Matthew 15: 21-28
21 Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!"
23 But he answered her not a word.
His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."
24 But he answered, "I wasn't sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
25 But she came and worshipped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
26 But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
27 But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
28 Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Jeremiah 31:1-7
1 "At that time," says the LORD, "I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people."
2 the LORD says, "The people who survive the sword found favour in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest."
3 The LORD appeared of old to me, saying,
"Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love.
Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
4 I will build you again,
and you will be built, O virgin of Israel.
You will again be adorned with your tambourines,
and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
5 Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria.
The planters will plant,
and will enjoy its fruit.
6 For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry,
'Arise, and let us go up to Zion to the LORD our God.'"
7 For the LORD says,
"Sing with gladness for Jacob,
and shout for the chief of the nations.
Publish, praise, and say,
'the LORD, save your people,
the remnant of Israel!'
