Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged…
“
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
The LORD is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.
The LORD is just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.

“
be gracious to me, O Lord, for to thee do I cry all the day.
Gladden the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on thee.
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; hearken to my cry of supplication.

“
Mary was raised to the dignity of Mother of God rather for sinners than for the just, since Jesus Christ declares that he came to call not the just, but sinners.
