    The faith of the Canaanite woman moved Jesus with compassion to meet her need - even though she wasn’t within his primary goal at that time

    Mt 15:21-28 The Canaanite Woman Have you ever wondered why St Matthew included this story about Jesus in his Gospel? As you know the first century Jews used to refer to non- Jews as Gentile dogs.
