The Venerable Bede on the Gospel for Reminiscere

Today we hear about the great faith, patience, constancy and humility of a woman. She had a great faith because she implored the Savior's benevolence, saying, "Show me mercy, O Lord, son of David." It is evident that she believed that He was true man and true God. Though she was asking on behalf of her daughter, she did not bring the girl along, and she did not entreat the Lord to come to her daughter. So it is clear that she trusted that Our Lord could give her daughter health by His word. After many tears, finally she prostrated herself and adored Him, saying, 'Lord, help me'. This teaches us that she had no uncertainty concerning His divine majesty, since she said that his power was to be adorned as God's.
