Thus says the LORD: Observe
what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is about to come, my justice,
about to be revealed.
The foreigners who
join themselves to the LORD, ministering to him, loving the name of the LORD, and
becoming his servants—all who keep the sabbath free from profanation and hold
to my covenant, them I will bring to my holy mountain and make joyful in my
house of prayer; their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be acceptable on my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
will be acceptable on my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

Reading 2ROM 11:13-15, 29-32
Brothers and sisters: I
am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the
Gentiles, I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous and thus save
some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what
will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

GospelMT 15:21-28
At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and
Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called
out, "Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented
by a demon." But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her. Jesus'
disciples came and asked him, "Send her away, for she keeps calling out
after us." He said in reply, "I
was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But the woman came and did Jesus homage,
saying, "Lord, help me." He said in reply, "It is not
right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." She
said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the
table of their masters." Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O
woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you
wish." And the woman's daughter was healed from that hour.
