Just as Jesus restored life and health to the daughter of Jairus, may the Church continue to creating policies that bring protection, renewal, unity, and well-being to children. We pray to the Lord…….
“Why this commotion and weeping?
The child is not dead but asleep…”
He took the child by the hand
and said to her, “Talitha koum,”
which means,
“Little girl, I say to you, arise!”
The girl, a child of twelve,
arose immediately and walked around.

We pray for an increased awareness and understanding of the unique health challenges faced by women. May we work together to support and promote the well-being of women, inspired by the example of Jesus in the Gospel, who healed the woman with the hemorrhage. We pray to the Lord…
There was a woman afflicted
with hemorrhages for twelve years.
She had suffered greatly
at the hands of many doctors
and had spent all that she had.
Yet she was not helped
but only grew worse.
