My House Shall be Called a House of Prayer for all Peoples��

�

�

The reading from Isaiah ends with this statement; that God’s house is open to all.�The prophets of the Old Testament were sent to Israel, the northern kingdom, and�Judah, the southern kingdom, to bring about conversion. The people had intermingled with those who worshiped other gods and had begun to worship them as well. The God of their forefathers sent the prophets to warn them of their sin and to call them back to the Himself, the one true God. If you are familiar with biblical history, you know that both kingdoms were invaded and conquered, the Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC, never to be re�established, and the Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC. The prophets of the Old Testament speak of other people and nations. They inform the chosen people that God is a God of all people and all nations. Since the chosen people were rejecting the true God, He would invite all nations to be His people.��

St. Paul, in his Letter to the Romans speaks to the Gentiles; his primary audience that he was sent to preach the Gospel. Paul’s mission was largely to the Gentile people as his own Jewish people by and large rejected him and his ministry. He does not give up on the Jews, rather hopes that when the Jews see the change and conversion of the Gentiles they would become jealous and seek conversion to Jesus as their savior as well. This is an example of Isaiah’s invitation to all people in action.��

�

In our Gospel passage today (Mt 15:21�28) Jesus seems to be rejecting a Canaanite woman who pleads for the healing of her daughter possessed and tormented by a�demon. This seems so out of the norm for Jesus, who heals so many people, even those outside of the “house of Israel.” Perhaps Jesus was testing this poor woman. Seeing just how much she would take before she would decide help was not coming? But this woman was determined and had great faith! She does not give up easily; she perseveres, knowing Jesus can bring the healing her daughter needs. This woman loved her daughter with her whole being and knew in her heart Jesus was the cure for her.��

Perhaps Jesus tests each of us at times. Will you continue to ask for the healing you need, for the strength to conquer a sinful habit, the conversion of your loved ones, for peace in your own lives and for the world? Will you? Or will you become tired and discouraged, giving up your prayer? Like this Canaanite woman,�

I urge you to continue to seek Jesus in prayer;�He will not abandon you!�

We are the Gentiles God has opened Himself up to;�we have been invited into a loving relationship with the true God,

so continue to seek Him and ask Him for what you need.��

David Helminiak and

the Franciscan Hospitality House.�“Beyond Shelter” programs, which house homeless adult men and women with children�

have opened in Wausau and Loyal.�Catholic Charities is committed to service the homeless and those who live at risk of homelessness.�

ALL PARISHIONERS�If any parishioner has changed their phone from a land line to a cell phone and have changed their number, or have changed their address, please notify the parish office so the church records may be changed.�Thank you. �

At the end of the Annual Appeal of 2016�2017 a total of $1112.63 was still owed. With the collection of August 13 the total is at $460.00.�As the new 2017�2018 collection is approaching in October with a few more collections we may be debt free by that time.�

The U.S. bishops invite the faithful to join a movement of prayer and sacrifice for the protection of life, mar-riage, and religious liberty in our country. Serious threats to each of these have raised unprecedented challenges to the Church and the nation. When confronted with chal-lenges, our Lord calls us to sacrifice and pray. �
