FIRST READING ISAIAH 56: 1, 6-7

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.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 4 PSALM 67

May God have pity on us and bless us; may he let his face shine upon us.

So may your way be known upon earth; among all nations, your salvation. Ɍ.

May the nations be glad and exult because you rule the peoples in equity;

the nations on the earth you guide. Ɍ.

May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you!

May God bless us, and may all the ends of the earth fear him! Ɍ.

SECOND READING ROMANS 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.

GOSPEL MATTHEW 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.

SEASONAL MARIAN ANTIPHON SALVE REGINA

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiæ,

vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.

Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevæ,

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos

misericordes oculos ad nos converte;

Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,

nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.

O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!

Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;

to thee do we send up our sighs,

mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.

Turn, then, O most gracious advocate,

thine eyes of mercy toward us;

and after this, our exile, show unto us

the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus;

O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

An Act of Spiritual Communion (Traditional Translation)

My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things, and I desire to receive Thee in my soul.

Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though Thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee;

permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee. Amen.

(Modern Translation) My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
