ELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
DWSMPropersP.1047Readingsp.781 (20 OT)
THE INTROIT HYMN
King of glory, King of peace, I will love Thee; and that love may never cease, I will move Thee.
Thou hast granted my request, Thou hast heard me; Thou didst note my working breast, Thou hast spared me.
Wherefore with my utmost art I will sing Thee, and the cream of all my heart I will bring Thee.
Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me; and alone, when they replied, Thou didst hear me.
OFFERTORY HYMN
Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord GodAlmighty!
Sev'n whole days, not one in sev’n, I will praise Thee; in my heart, though not in heav'n, I can raise Thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enroll Thee: e'en eternity's too short to extol Thee.
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee; Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!
Holy, Holy, Holy! all the saints adore thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide thee, Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, Only thou art holy, there is none beside thee Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord GodAlmighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!
COMMUNION HYMN
LET all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand; ponder nothing earthly-minded, for with blessing in his hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth, our full homage to demand. King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth he stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture, in the body and the blood; he will give to all the faithful his own self for heavenly food.
AftertheDismissal
PRAYER OF ST MICHAEL
Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, as the Light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day, that the powers of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.
At his feet the six-winged seraph, cherubim, with sleepless eye, veil their faces to the presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry: Alleluia,Alleluia,Alleluia, Lord Most High!
Holy Michael, Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. Be thou our defence against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust down to hell Satan, and all wicked spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
THE ANGELUS
The angel of the Lord brought tidings to Mary And she conceived by the Holy Ghost. Hail Mary...
Behold the handmaid of the Lord. be it unto me according to thy word. Hail Mary...
The Word was made flesh. And dwelt amongst us. Hail Mary...
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray.
We beseech thee O Lord, pour thy grace into our hearts: that, as we have known the Incarnation of thy Son Jesus Christ by the message of an Angel, so by his Cross and Passion we may be brought to the glory of his resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Reflection on today’s Gospel
The Canaanite woman in today’s gospel addressed Jesus with two titles, "Lord" and "Son of David." The later presupposed his ethnic and religious background. But the former presupposed her faith in Jesus. Some interpreters simply translate "Lord" as a formal address ("Sir"), but doing so would undercut the desperation of her plea and the persistence of her intent. She called Jesus "Lord" because she trusted him and his power. [15:22b]
Jesus ignored her and his followers complained about her persistence. (How many of us act in the presence of strangers as if they didn't exist, only to gossip about them later?) [15:23]
Jesus turned to the woman and defined his ministry as exclusively Jewish. The two titles for Israel (the lost sheep and the "house" of Israel) refer to the same idea. Jesus served only the Jews. [15:24] His statements, however, did not deter the woman. [15:25]

Jesus then made a challenging comment. He compared the Jews to children and Gentiles to dogs. [15:26] On the surface, the statement was demeaning, for the term "dog" stood atop a list of Semitic insults. "Dog" implied the cowardice of dogs who only hunt in packs. Alone, most dogs will run away when confronted.
However, the term also implied extreme loyalty. A true pet would defend his or her master to the death if confronted. To bond with their pets, masters in Semitic households would fed their dogs from leftovers after the meal. In this way, dogs knew their place and knew their master. The after-meal time ritual helped insure the dog's loyalty (and the family's safety).
Not to be deterred, the woman used Jesus' analogy to her advantage. Referring to the well-known bonding ritual, she affirmed her trust in Jesus. She was loyal, like a family pet. She would wear the insult (if there was one) proudly. [15:27] Through her trust, Jesus acknowledged her faith and cured her daughter. [15:28]
Prayer in Honour of the Queenship of Mary
O Mary Immaculate Queen, look down upon this distressed and suffering world. You know our misery and our weakness. O thou who art our Mother, saving us in the hour of peril, have compassion on us in these days of great and heavy trial. Jesus has confided to you the treasure of His grace, and through you He wills to grant us pardon and mercy. In these hours of anguish, therefore, your children come to you as their hope.
We recognise your Queenship and ardently desire your triumph. We need a Mother and a Mother's Heart. You are for us the luminous dawn which dissipates our darkness and points out the way to life. In your clemency obtain for us the courage and the confidence of which we have such need.
Most Holy and Adorable Trinity, You Who did crown with glory in Heaven the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Saviour, grant that all her children on earth may acknowledge her as their Sovereign Queen, that all hearts, homes, and nations may recognise her rights as Mother and as Queen. Mary Immaculate Queen, triumph and reign! Amen 20/08/22
