‘Woman, you have great faith. Let your wish be granted.’ How - TopicsExpress



          

‘Woman, you have great faith. Let your wish be granted.’ How important is God to us? Is his presence in our life as vital and as important as water, food and air? The Caananite woman in today’s Gospel shows us that recognising that we desperately and truly need God is the necessary step that we need to take in order to be happy. Most of us do not want to admit that we need help, that we cannot hope to lead a happy life just on our own efforts. If we are followers of Christ then we believe that we were never meant to live on our own, that we were created to be in communion with others, with God. Insisting on a solitary, self-sufficient existence is like asking an infant to fend for itself. Today, we ask for the grace of faith, to realise and understand that we were created by God to be with Him. We ask to be reminded that God requires nothing from us except our acceptance and trust.
