Faith informed, unashamed, and persistent

The exemplary faith of the Canaanite woman shows us how to live, namely with an informed faith (for she knew he was  the Son of David, and that he is the one to pray for mercy), with an unashamed faith (for she did not care that the disciples shunned her, and even Jesus himself seemed to do so), and with a persistent faith (she refused  to leave until she had received her mercy). Sermon for Lent II.  The video is here.
