Throughout history, countless stories have portrayed the foreign woman as the primary source of trouble. In the gospel reading for this coming Sunday, a foreign woman argues her case before Jesus, but in the end, she is blessed. Come to hear this interesting story, and in hearing it receive mercy from the Master’s voice.
