THE TWELVETH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST - 8/16/2026
In the gospel reading for this coming Sunday, a foreign woman argues her case before Jesus, but in the end she is blessed. Come to hear this interesting story, and join us for mercy at the Master’s table.

In medieval fashion, the single-page illustration in Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, the 1415 Book of Hours of John, Duke of Berry, shows several parts of the story. The daughter is home, sick in bed; Jesus is not heeding the woman’s plea; and finally, Jesus is blessing the woman for her faith.
