The faith of the Cananite woman (Mt 15: 21-28) Bible reading of Sunday, Sept 30
21

Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

22

A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him,

23

crying out, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and su ering terribly.
24 25

Jesus did not

answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us. He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.
26 28

The woman came and knelt before him. Lord, help me!
27

she said.

He replied, It is not right to take the childrens bread and toss it to the dogs.

Yes it is, Lord, she said. Even the

dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters table.

Then Jesus said to her, Woman, you have great faith! Your request

is granted. And her daughter was healed at that moment.

St. Vincent de Paul Patron of charitable societies

St. Vincent was born of poor parents in the village of Pouy in Gascony, France, about 1580. He enjoyed his rst schooling under the Franciscan Fathers at Acqs. Such had been his progress in four years that a gentleman chose him as subpreceptor to his children, and he was thus enabled to continue his studies without being a burden to his parents. In 1596, he went to the University of Toulouse for theological studies, and there he was ordained priest in 1600. In 1605, on a voyage by sea from Marseilles to Narbonne, he fell into the hands of African pirates and was carried as a slave to Tunis. His captivity lasted about two years, until Divine Providence enabled him to e ect his escape. After a brief visit to Rome he returned to France, where he became preceptor in the family of Emmanuel de Gondy, Count of Goigny, and General of the galleys of France. In 1617, he began to preach missions, and in 1625, he lay the foundations of a congregation which afterward became the Congregation of the Mission or Lazarists, so named on account of the Prioryof St. Lazarus, which the Fathers began to occupy in 1633. It would be impossible to enumerate all the works of this servant of God. Charity was his predominant virtue. It extended to all classes of persons, from forsaken childhood to old age. The Sisters of Charity also owe the foundation of their congregation to St. Vincent. In the midst of the most distracting occupations his soul was always intimately united with God. Though honored by the great ones of the world, he remained deeply rooted in humility. The Apostle of Charity, the immortal Vincent de Paul, breathed his last in Paris at the age of eighty. His feast day is September 27th. He is the patron of charitable societies.

Since 1975, the Stephen Ministry has helped thousands of people in difficult times in their lives. The Ministry represents all 50 States in the USA, 10 Canadian provinces, and 23 other countries. The Ministry helps Pastors who, in many cases carry the burden of being the congregation's sole caregivers. The Ministry equips a team of compassionate, caring, committed, lay people ready to minister to hurting people inside and outside the community. The Ministry also provides laypeople an opportunity to use and strengthen their leadership and care giving gifts in a meaningful ministry--serving others while experiencing tremendous spiritual growth. People who are suffering no longer suffer alone. A caring Christian friend(s) comes alongside them to provide emotional and spiritual care for as long as the need persists. The Ministry provides a practical, powerful way to: "Equip God's people for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:12) "Love one another as I have loved you."
