Today's gospel is Mt. 15, 21-28 (The Canaanite woman's faith)
On the Homily Father Luis told us a story about the Civil War. It happenned that a soldier died in action, so his friends wanted to give him a decent burial.
They found a catholic church, and they asked the priest permission to bury their friend in the church's cementery, but the priest told them that due to Church's law a protestant could not be buried in a catholic church's cementery.
Thus, his friends buried him outside the walls of the cementary.
After some months his friends went back to visit his friend's burial place, and they could not find it. They went to ask the priest what happened. He told them that he realized that the Church's laws said that it was forbidden to bury protestants within the cementary walls, but it did not say anything about moving the walls outwards. So he did that to have this protestant man within the church's cementary.

We see something similar in this passage of the gospel when my Lord helped this canaanite woman.

verse 26:

He said in reply, "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs."

can be the perfect tool for the fundie who preaches a separatist and pharisaic God.

However, we can see how the faith, perseverance, humility, and good humor of her answer, made my Lord change his mind.

verse 27 reads:

She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters."

After this answer my Lord moved walls, in his answer:

Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

My Lord shows a basic truth of faith which the fundies don't get we are all God's children regardless. Heaven's doors are wide open for all of us. In the cross my Lord has the arms wide open to receive all of us, with unlimited love, and without asking anything.

My Heavenly Daddy loves each one of us regardless the fact that some deny him. The fact that we deny God does not mean that God stops loving man. It just mean that man is blind.
