In the lectionary readings this month, the Gospel of Matthew focuses on the role of the disciples and the importance of the community. Jesus encourages the disciples, "Do not be afraid" and the Canaanite woman shows courage that comes from understanding the wide welcome God promises. In Romans, Paul calls us to be one body in Christ, united in spite of, and in honor of, our differences.
