In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 15, a Canaanite woman came to Jesus and called out, "Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon." He said in reply, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters." Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour. The lesson here: The Lord tests us. If we always keep our faith, we "win" each time.
