< 너희에게 줄 떡은 없어! >
--- (마태 15:26) ---
사람을 개 취급하면
어떻게 되느냐?
그거야 뭐---
개 취급을 받게 되질 않겠나?
우-찌 이런 험악한 말이 거침없이
튀어나올 수 있나?
그것은 타이어( Tyre )와 시드온( Sidon ) 땅에서
거드럭 거리며 사는 놈들이 ( Matthew 15:21 )
개 똥같기 때문이다.
( 1 Maccabees 5:14-15 )
요 녀석들이 똘똘 뭉쳐 가지고
<갈릴리> 지방에 쳐들어 와서
남자들을 처참하게 죽이고,
여자들을 강간하고,
어린이들을 납치하고,
살아 남은 자들은
노예로 붙잡아 가버렸으니
요런 녀석들이
사는 곳에서
느이들 미친병
고쳐주게 생겼어?
니들의 꼬라지가 이러하니
잃어 버린 양에게 먹일 떡을
개같은 너희에게 주는 것이 마땅 하것냐?
엉?
예수께서 하신
이 말에...
가나안 여인 ( Syrophoenician )이 부르짖기를...
< 주-여! 옳소이다! > --(마태15:27)
옳아? 무엇이 옳-아?
< 개들도 제 주인의 상에서 떨어지는 부스러기를 먹나이다.>
--- 제 주인의 상?
허-- 참으로---
이 여자가
발아래
납짝 엎드려서
<떡 뿌스레기>라도
좀 먹게 해달라고
애원하는 게 아니가?!
하-아-
이-건 깡짜 부리는게 아니여!
미친 딸을 가진 <어미>의 하늘같은 측은지심이
바로 천심(天心)이니
어찌 무심(無心)할 쑤 있겠느냔 말이여!
이런 <믿음>을
천심(天心)이라 카니...
누구든지
측은지심(惻隱之心)이 없는 <믿음>은
냉혹한 마음이요,
늑대같은 심사(心事)라...
고런 냉혹(冷酷)한 마음으로
갈릴리 사람들을
잔인하게 살해하고,
능욕하고,
납치해서,
노예로 잡았으니---
너희가
이제부터는
그런 마심(魔心/마귀의 마음)에서 풀려나---
이 여인의
천심(天心)을
너희들의 <애절한 믿음>으로
본 받아
살찌어닷!
그렇지 않으면
땅바닥에 떨어진
복음의 <뿌스러기> 조차도
너희는 <맛> 볼 수 없게 될 것이다.

< Justice Without Mercy Is Cruelty >
(Mat 15:26)
"It's not fair to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs."
Contemporary man feels much attracted to God’s mercy, more than his forerunners in bygone eras.
Is this attraction due to the countless wars that marked the last century and still mark the present?
Or is it an effect of the continuing series of natural disasters that have been happening lately?
Be it as it may, what is certain is that both developments make man feel small in the face of situations
that are way beyond his control.

that are way beyond his control.
Just like the huge moral crisis that shakes humanity, today’s ambience of unprecedented immorality make stand out even more how man is weak and helpless without divine goodness. This brings to mind the clamor of King David, crying for his sin: If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it (Ps 129/130).
On the other hand, when looking at God’s infinite perfection, one should also bear in mind His infinite goodness and endless mercy so that His perfections will not scare us but rather draw us to Him. Thus, a loving and confident consideration of divine mercy and a special devotion to it are abundantly justified; they support us and fill us with the hope of attaining eternal bliss, our final destination.
Yet, since God is infinitely perfect, we cannot limit ourselves to looking at only one of His attributes while leaving aside the others, which are equally infinite. If God had only mercy and no justice, He would be missing something essential to every rational being, which is to act equitably. That would be absurd and would lead to a distorted notion of the Divine nature in goodness.
This is why the King David underlines God’s infinite justice by saying, He [The Lord] hath prepared his throne in judgment: And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice (Ps. 9: 8-10). And also, The Lord is just, and hath loved justice (Psalm 10:8). Obviously, there can be no contradiction between divine mercy and justice, but only harmony, as the same guy emphasizes: Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed (Psalm 84:11). Therefore, we must love God’s mercy as much as His justice, as both are attributes of the same infinite God and reflect His boundless wisdom and love. Mercy is a feeling of compassion with someone’s suffering and needs. It is therefore more than a merely emotional sentiment that does not lead to action; nor is it mere philanthropy that turns aiding the needy into a quasi bureaucratic procedure. Mercy must come from true charity toward neighbor and must be entirely subject to the guidance of reason, the judgment of the intelligence, and the dictates of justice.
Every supernatural virtue comes from the love of God. Mercy, among virtues, is a summary of Christian life.
Mercy tempers justice by diminishing the punishment or by making its application more benign. But it cannot run counter to justice or eliminate it. Thus, when the balance between mercy and justice is lost, the wicked either are allowed to go unpunished or are punished with brutality. Both things lead to social chaos and cause confusion in people’s minds. Indeed, failing to punish one who breaks divine or human laws weakens the notion of good and evil
in people’s consciences and leads to moral relativism. For its part, cruelty in punishment makes justice odious to the people. A sinner or criminal should be adequately punished for his fault so that justice is done and the sense of justice remains alive in society. Without the sense of justice, life among men degenerates into the law of the jungle.

Let us love God's perfections in His mercy as well as His justice; for this is the only way for us to understand divine wisdom and sanctity and to be able to imitate them as much as we possibly can. This is important not only for our spiritual life but also to enable us to make a balanced judgment of our neighbors and understand that mercy cannot destroy justice, otherwise society would be bound to complete collapse.

< Matthew 15:21-28 >
--- The Syrophoenician ( Canaanite ) Women ---
ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 15:24,26,28.
24 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· Οὐκ ἀπεστάλην εἰ μὴ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ. 26 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· Οὐκ ἔστιν καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις. 28 τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Ὦ γύναι, μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις· γενηθήτω σοι ὡς θέλεις. καὶ ἰάθη ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.
πρόβατα -- sheep
ἀπολωλότα -- lost
Οὐκ ἔστιν καλὸν -- Not It is good
τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων -- the bread of children
βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις --- to throw to the dogs
μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις --- great of thee the faith
θέλεις --- thou desirest
(15:26)
Although it could be argued that an original εξεστιν was displaced by
ἔστιν καλὸν or καλον εστιν under the influence of parallel account Mark 7:27
( where the manuscripts fluctuate between ἔστιν καλὸν and καλον εστιν ),
Committee regarded it as somewhat more probable that εξεστιν was
introduced into some of the Western witnesses in order to strengthen
Jesus' reply ( a heightening from what is appropriate or fitting to what is
lawful or permitted ).
εξεστιν --- it is permitted, it is poosible, proper.
Mark 3:4, 12:14, ( without the necessity of supplying an inf. )

< Matthew 15:21-28 >
21 Then Jesus went from that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.22And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.”23But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.”24* He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”25 But the woman came and did him homage, saying, “Lord, help me.”26He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the children* and throw it to the dogs.”27She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.”28Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith!* Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
