Nevertheless she persisted

 

Matthew 15:28

Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed instantly.

The persistence of a woman

who refused to be set aside

who refused to settle for less

who refused to be silenced

And in her persistence

she expanded the notion

of mercy

and compassion

and justice for all

birthing a revolution

of access

to the kingdom of God

Even the Messiah

needed to be challenged

to reject the patriarchal default

of exclusion

and embrace

a new way

that says

Women matter

and

All are welcome
