Liturgy for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, Year B (Mark)

In this liturgy, I try to integrate the Lamentations and Gospel reading as I sense what will be stirred in the congregation during the reading and preaching of the gospel text about the woman with the hemorrhage and Jairus’ daughter. Who hasn’t wondered if God’s compassion would fail? We need to hear the voices of others proclaim it, for theirs is louder than ours.
