Prayers of the Faithful for Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sunday | Liturgical Color: Green

Readings: Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24 · 2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13-15 · Mk 5:21-43 or 5:21-24, 35b-43 (Lectionary 98)

The readings in brief: The Book of Wisdom teaches that God did not make death; he created all things so that they might live. Saint Paul asks the Corinthians to share their plenty with those in need, as Christ became poor for our sake. A woman who has been ill for twelve years touches the cloak of Jesus and is healed; then he takes the daughter of Jairus by the hand and raises her.

Introduction (priest): Gathered as one family in Christ, let us pray to the Father for the Church, for the world and for all who are in need.

Concluding prayer (priest): God of mercy, you never turn away those who hope in you. Receive these prayers and answer them according to your love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
