Gospel, Saint, prayer of February 8st

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Mark 7,24-30.
After leaving, he went to the region of Tire and Sidon. And when he entered a house, he wanted nobody to know, but he could not remain hidden.
Immediately a woman who had her little daughter possessed by an unclean spirit, as soon as she knew it, went and threw herself at his feet.
Now, that woman who begged him to drive out the devil from her daughter was Greek, of Syro-Phoenician origin.
And he said to her, "Let the children feed first; it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs ».
But she replied: "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat the crumbs of their children."
Then he said to her, "By your word go, the devil has gone out of your daughter."
Back home, she found the little girl lying on the bed and the devil was gone.

Saint of today - SAN GIROLAMO EMILIANI
O God who in San Girolamo Emiliani, father and support of orphans,
you gave the Church a sign of your predilection for the little ones and the poor,
also allow us to live in the spirit of Baptism,
for which we call ourselves and we are really your children.
We ask you for Christ our Lord.
For the merits and intercession of St. Jerome,
bless us and always protect us almighty god,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
