Homily for August 17

by Fr. MD   •   August 17, 2008

Who likes to be challenged or corrected? Probably most people do not. However, God often challenges us by using other people to tell us how wrong we were and so on. A good example would be in the gospel today. Through this woman’s challenge, Jesus soon realized that His mission on the earth was not only serving Jews but also non-Jews as well. Based on the readings of Kings 19:9-13; Romans 9:1-5; Matthew 14:22-33.
