20th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)


Readings: Isaiah 56: 1. 6-7; Romans 11: 13-15; Matthew 15: 21-28

Selected Passage: 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. (Matthew 15:28)

Meditation: Great FAITH WORKS MIRACLES! Yes, Miracles still happen, today and they are NOT the exceptions. But to experience miracles, we need to believe. In the gospel, Jesus gives in to the request of the Canaanite woman, because of her great faith, Jesus cures her daughter.  Visit: www.badaliyya.blogspot.com

Badal is an Arabic word for “Substitution” or “Ransom”.  Louis Massignon had “discovered” the reality of BADAL – Substitution/Ransom for the reparation of injustices and for witnessing to the poor and victims of injustices.  Substitution/Ransom demands an offer of the total self – similar to the test of martyrdom or shahid.  Badaliyya is the movement began by Fr. Louis Massignon in Egypt.
