TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY
TIME
... my salvation is
about to come ...
FIRST
READING
" ...Observe what
is right, do what is just; for my salvation is about to come, my
justice, about to be revealed ....'"
Isaiah 56:1, 6-7
SECOND READING
" ... the gifts and the call of God are
irrevocable ...."
Romans 11:13-15, 29-32
GOSPEL
" ... a Canaanite woman came and called out
[to Jesus] 'Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is
tormented by a demon' ... Jesus didn't answer [but she kept calling
and asking] and she did Jesus homage, saying, 'Lord help me' ...
Then Jesus said to her ... ' O woman, great is your faith! Let it be
done for you as you wish.' ...."
Matthew 14:22-33
called to act
in god's name
"Let all the nations praise you!" (Psalm 67:4)
today's psalm response exclaims. In the psalms and other Hebrew
scriptures, this kind of invocation is actually an invitation to God to
act, to intervene in human lives in a manner that will cause
everyone--not just the Chosen People--to give praise. Stated a bit more
strongly, it is something of a "put up or shut up" challenge to God, the
sort of strong statement the psalmists of Israel, trusting in their
intimate and loving relationship with God, were not afraid to make.
The Gospel has its own exclamation, announcing
the appearance of the Canaanite woman with "Behold!" (Matthew 15:22)
"Behold!" is a scriptural flag that tells us that God is about to act or
announce something through an individual or a situation. In the case of
Jesus, God was going to act through this woman, whom nobody among Jesus'
followers would have believed to be an agent of the divine will. Like
the psalmists, we might passively inform or perhaps even actively
challenge God to do something so that everyone will come to belief, but
God will always turn the tables on us. It becomes our calling, our duty
(as it was for Jesus) to behold the situations and persons of our daily
lives so that God can act through us, so the Kingdom can be announced
through our living.
