Psalm 25:1-7;

 Genesis 44; Matthew 15:21-28

You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God. Psalm 40:17

A leper came to Jesus begging him, and kneeling he said to him, "If you choose, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I do choose. Be made clean!" Mark 1:40-41

O God our help in ages past, may we take up our cross and emulate our Lord Jesus who was not afraid to be a servant by helping all in need. Amen.
