Show me your face; show me your love for me. I know that without you I am nothing, and yet you want to give me everything. I want to love you\u2014teach me how. Lord, increase my faith to see the world the way you see it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>That\u2019s Not the Jesus I Know:<\/strong> What on earth was Jesus up to in this Gospel? Right before coming to Tyre and Sidon, in Matthew 14:36, the people of Gennesaret had only to touch his cloak and they were healed. Right after he returned to Galilee, the Gospel tells us that he was healing all who came to him. We are so used to hearing how Jesus was always willing to heal, cure, and liberate that the Jesus in this Gospel is almost unrecognizable. First, he ignored the woman, saying he was sent only to Israel, then he outright rejected her and even seemed to insult her. Yet, perhaps the Jesus in this Gospel is not so far from our own experience\u2014after all, are all of our prayers answered as soon as we ask, in the way we ask? Doesn\u2019t it rather feel sometimes like God answers our prayers for help not with the solution we want, but with <em>more <\/em>trials? God knows much better than we do what we need\u2014perhaps this woman needed a little humility, maybe she had a prejudice against Jews that was impeding her faith, or maybe Jesus just wanted to bring her to even greater heights of faith by his actions. Do I see God\u2019s hand in everything? Do I persevere in prayer even when it seems like nothing is happening?\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Great Is Your Faith:<\/strong> As bewildering as Jesus\u2019 response to this woman was at first, by the end of their interaction he elicited from her a profession of faith so powerful that it seemed to change Jesus\u2019 mind: \u201cPlease, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters\u2026\u201d \u201c\u2026 O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.\u201d May we imitate her strong faith, no matter what our circumstances are, trusting that Jesus always knows best.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standing Alone?:<\/strong> Nowadays, faith and trust in God are not particularly fashionable. Many see confidence in God as weak, naive\u2014a refusal to deal with life\u2019s problems. In reality, faith, which is a gift from God, can strengthen believers to withstand any hardship, even martyrdom, as so many saints have shown us. Perhaps this Canaanite woman\u2019s story of faith was preserved in the Gospel to remind us of this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord, thank you for being with me in this short time of prayer. Increase my faith. I know you are listening, that you love me, and that you want the best for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will thank you for the little trials you send my way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known psalms for good reason: It is one of the greatest prayers of trust ever written:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 He makes me lie down in green pastures;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>he leads me beside still waters;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 he restores my soul.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>He leads me in right paths<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 for his name\u2019s sake.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Even though I walk through the darkest valley,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 I fear no evil;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>for you are with me;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 your rod and your staff\u2014<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 they comfort me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>You prepare a table before me<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 in the presence of my enemies;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>you anoint my head with oil;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 my cup overflows.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 all the days of my life,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0 my whole life long.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riley Connors was born in Dayton, Ohio.
