Twentieth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Here are the readings for the Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, August 14, 2011:

Isaiah 56: 1, 6-7
Psalm: 67: 2-3, 5-6, 8
Romans 11: 13-15, 29-32
Matthew 15: 21-28

A determined mother meets a man with a defined mission and challenges him to expand his vision. A woman dares to speak with an unrelated man of a different religion, and demonstrates an awareness of Jesus' power that many of his own culture were unable to accept. God's salvation is, after all, offered to all people, and we have the free will to accept or reject it.

If you could ask one thing of Jesus, what would that be?
