1st 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.
All: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
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.
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
May the nations be glad and exult because you rule the peoples in equity; the nations on the earth you guide.
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
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!
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
2nd 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.
All: Thanks be to God.
Alleluia – CF. Matthew 4:23
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of the kingdom
and cured every disease among the people.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
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.
All: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

COMMUNION HYMN
Turn to Me #315 P.103
* Turn to Me, O turn, and be saved, says the Lord, for I am God
There is no other, none be-side Me. I call your name
1. I am He that comforts you: Who are you to be afraid
Of flesh that fades, is made like the grass of the field, soon to wither
2. Listen to Me, My people. Give ear to Me, My nation
A law will go forth from Me and My justice for a light, to the people
3. Lift up your eyes to the heavens. And look at the earth down below
The heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out, like a garment
Being with You #035 P.12

RECESSIONAL HYMN
Walk with Faith #320 P.105
1. Walk with faith in your heart and you'll never walk alone
For the faith in your heart, the world is yours to own
You never will grieve if in Him you believe
And walk with faith in your heart
2. When the dreams that you dream seem to disappear from view
That's the time to hang on and soon they'll come true
He'll lighten your load as you travel life's road
So walk with faith in your heart
3. You will find happiness if you let Him be your friend
And you'll find that success is just around the bend
He won't let you down, wear a smile not a frown
And walk with faith in your heart
