20th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore the surprising wideness of God's welcome — who belongs, who is included, and how salvation reaches beyond expected boundaries. Isaiah speaks of foreigners being drawn into God's house of prayer, while the Gospel presents a woman from outside Israel whose bold, persistent faith catches Jesus' attention in a striking way. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Isaiah 56:1, 6-7 • Second Reading: Romans 11:13-15, 29-32 • Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28
