Gospel of the day: Mark 7:24-30 (February 11, 2021)

 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark

At that time: Jesus arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have anyone know it, yet he could not be hidden. But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him,’ and came and fell down at his feet. Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. And he said to her, “Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” And he said to her, “For this saying, you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” And she went home and found the child lying in bed, and the demon was gone.
