2nd Sunday of Lent
Prayers of the Faithful
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, in today’s Gospel, Jesus was transfigured not only to reveal His glory to His selected disciples, but to confirm that He is the one who will fulfill the Law and the prophets. In faith, let us offer these prayers to the Lord:
L. We pray for our parishioners, that we may turn to Jesus as the only Way to the Father at every moment in our lives. We pray to the Lord.
L. We pray for all those who are in faith formation in our parish, both children and adults, especially our catechumens, that the Lord may give them the wisdom and knowledge to diligently pursue their friendship with Christ in joy, harmony and peace. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for our mission of evangelization, may we do our part in bringing new members to the Church and helping the Body of Christ grow in faith and charity. We pray to the Lord.
L: This Mass is being offered for Zheng Liangming, Zheng Jinde and Zheng Lianghui. May the Lord grant them peace, happiness and good health. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for those whose names are in our Prayer Box, especially Liu Guifang, Lydia Chen, Lu Shumi, David Wang, Chen Jianxin, Liang Chenjing, Xu Taicheng and Fr. Bill. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for the souls in Purgatory, may our prayers aid them in their purification, that they may sooner enter into the joys of heaven. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for your personal intentions. May the Lord hear the prayers in our hearts and bring us closer to Him. We pray to the Lord.
Celebrant: Lord our God, grant us the grace that we may see the presence and glory of your Son, Jesus Christ, in each and every situation that we experience in our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
