One another, Sunday13B

June 30, 2024

Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24; Psalm (29) 30; 2 Corinthians 8:7, 9, 13-15; Mark 5:21-43

In gratitude for what has been, in hope for what will be, let us offer our prayers to the God of life and joy:

For our Church and parish, that we may be a community rich in the love of Christ: let us pray to the Lord.

For Pope N., Bishop N., Father N., and the bishops, priests, and deacons of our Church, that their ministries may touch the people they serve with compassion and understanding: let us pray to the Lord.

For the nations and peoples of the world, that they may recognize, respect, and affirm the dignity of every person made in the very image of God: let us pray to the Lord.

For all parents and guardians, that, like Jairus, they may seek the love and kindness of God for their children: let us pray to the lord.

For those who mourn and grieve, for families divided, for those consumed by despair and fear, that the love of God may transform their “mourning into dancing”: let us pray to the Lord.

For the faithful who have died [especially _________], that they may rise to the new life of the Risen Christ: let us pray to the Lord.

For the prayers we now make in the silence of our hearts [Pause...]: let us pray to the Lord.

Lord of all hopefulness, Author of all goodness, hear our prayers. Do not let us surrender our hope to fear, but may your Spirit inspire us to trust always in what is right and good.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.
