Rev. Robert McCluskey

“Why would the Prince of Peace engage in harsh, exclusionary rhetoric? Why would he call someone a dog, and why would that person submit to such a description? Within the strange story of the Canaanite woman lies a simple but profound psycho-spiritual lesson on the nature of faith. Not blind belief, but a perception of the hidden, inner spiritual structure of our lives; the acknowledgment of the Divine order which pervades the whole of creation, including us; and the task of conforming ourselves to this heavenly order, of becoming truly faithful to the Divine Love and Wisdom.”
