THE GOSPEL

Mark 5:21-43 or 5:21-24, 35b-43

He took the child by the hand and said to her,
“Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!”

An official, Jairus, falls at Jesus’ feet and pleads.
A suffering lady boldly touches his cloak.
And you grant their wishes
through your
touch.

Jesus, we believe.
Let your healing flow into us, too:
through your poor, your hungry, your troubled;
your daisies, hummingbirds, skies, music, books.
Let us find you everywhere, in all things.
Please touch us with
your grace.


THE FIRST READING

Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24

For God formed man to be imperishable;
the image of his own nature he made him.

God,
in your own image you fashioned us,
made all creation for us to use,
to keep wholesome,
searching for
you.

Let us always search

and

let us find you
at one
with
the
in
 and
 out,
of our

  daily lives.

THE SECOND READING
2 Corinthians 8:7, 9, 13-15

Though he was rich, for your sake he became poor
so that by his poverty you might become rich.

From lofty
heights he lowered himself:
His birth was not into plenty, but into poverty.

Lord,
you who entered our world this way,
may we find you, see you,
touch you, hear you,
know you better,
love you
more?

You
shared
your wealth
with
us.

Let us share your love
with
others.
