Gospel Matthew 15:21-28
21And departing from there, Jesus withdrew into the areas of Tyre and Sidon.
22And behold, a woman of Canaan, going out from those parts, cried out, saying to him: “Take pity on me, Lord, Son of David. My daughter is badly afflicted by a demon.”
23He did not say a word to her. And his disciples, drawing near, petitioned him, saying: “Dismiss her, for she is crying out after us.”
24And responding, he said, “I was not sent except to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.”
25But she approached and adored him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26And responding, he said, “It is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.”
27But she said, “Yes, Lord, but the young dogs also eat from the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.”
28Then Jesus, responding, said to her: “O woman, great is your faith. Let it be done for you just as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.
In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
