First Reading Genesis 2: 18-25
The Lord God said: "It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a helper for him, which is commensurate with her." Then the Lord God formed from the ground all the beasts and all the birds of the air. Brought Him everything to the man to see, how he named; and as the human name given to every living being, so later the name of the creature.
The man gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field, but for himself, he did not find a helper fit for him. Then the Lord God caused a deep sleep; when he slept, God took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And a rib taken from the man of God, built made a woman, and brought her to the man. The man said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She will be called woman, because she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they become one flesh. They were both naked, the man and his wife, but they do not feel embarrassed.
Psalm Ps 128: 1-2.3.4-5
The righteous life will be blessed by God.
* Blessed are the pious to God, who walks in His ways! If you enjoy the fruits of your labor,
blessed are you and are you all right!
* Your wife will be like a fertile vine within your house;
thy children like olive plants around your table!
* Really, it shall be blessed by God man pious life. May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: Jerusalem should see the happiness of your life,
Gospel reading Mark 7: 24-30
At the time he left the region of Galilee and went to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want that there are people who know. But his arrival could not be kept secret.
In fact, there was a mother, whose daughter was possessed by an evil spirit. Having heard about Jesus, she came and fell at his feet. Mother was a Greek nationality Syro-Phoenician. She asked Jesus to cast the demon out of her daughter. Jesus said to him, "Let the children be satisfied first! Not worth taking the bread provided for the children and throw it to the dogs."
But the mother replied, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table
eat the crumbs that dropped the kids. "Then Jesus said to the mother," Because of your words, go home, for the demon has left your daughter. "She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Thus the Gospel of the Lord.

The experience of others often becomes a meaningful lesson for our lives. Moreover, if we face a similar experience. Recently, as the use of social media has become part of the routine. It's not fun without medsos, either read the status, view photos, read news, and others. No less interesting also read overflow of the heart the cool, full of rage and jealousy, threats, hoaxes. There are many valuable lessons about life and the need to take a cautious stance heart's in digesting all the information flow. Recently, some people tangled case UUTE for hatred, insults, threats. in the social media world as an open-plan freely without rules, but apparently not everyone is ready to accept it. then we need to learn and be made aware of these cases so that more critical face of the digital world. being sick. But Jesus realized.
Syro Phoenician woman performing with courage and begged Jesus to give attention to children who are sick. But Jesus realized that she was not a nationalistic Jew, have not duly received salvation by saying: "No right to take the bread provided for the children and throw it to the dogs" Unexpectedly woman had guts as denied Jesus "Yes, Lord, but dog under the table too eating crumb crusts that dropped the children "In the context of the mission, the woman brought new awareness of the mission of salvation which also will be directed to outside the Jewish nation. She had to struggle to get the same rights before God and Jesus gave him. How does our attitude toward others with different beliefs?
Item contemplation.
The author of Genesis believes that man was created as male and female to be a suitable helper. A pair of newly married bride, so passionate for loving each other. But their love is still paced fun only. In fact, over each other trying to not want to hurt. With time, the love of husband and wife who have been married necessarily indicate a deeper quality. Various test of loyalty, and various difficulties have matured their family life, existence of belief and confidence in the loyalty of the couple, making their lives more meaningful. They are reassured by the experience of ups and downs as a family, that no one can separate their love, which is the deepest meaning of marriage in fidelity.
In particular levels, we could feel the love of the women in the Gospel that was fighting for his recovery. He does not care when his pride humbled. He did not feel hurt. Sincerity and confidence faith did not waver. He believed that Jesus could save his son. There is a profound conviction, there is no yearning deep and persistent effort, until he forgot his pride for the sake of healing. This is the quality of a mother's love for her child.
The father or husband may ask, why the evangelist Mark just showed the tenacity of a woman or a mother. Why not tell us how this mom helped her husband fight for his safety? We can find the answer in the first reading. Man was created to help each other and complement, should appear in the practice of daily living. Hopefully the struggle and effort it makes our life more quality, more meaningful.
Prayer.
O God, thy creation of unique and diverse, teach us to appreciate and respect the differences with words and a good attitude. Amen.
