Second Sunday After Pentecost
Compassionate God, you call unlikely people and meet us in our most desperate need. Like Matthew, we are invited despite our imperfections; like the woman and the grieving father, we are seen and restored by your mercy. Receive these gifts as signs of our gratitude. Use them to bring healing, hope, and new life to your people. In the name of the One who makes us whole, we pray. Amen.
Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26
