Third Sunday of Easter
Prayers of the Faithful
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, in today’s Gospel, Jesus asked Peter three times, “Do you love me?” Jesus not only leads sinners to repentance, He also leads them to love Him. With faith in the risen Lord, let us offer these prayers to the Lord:
L. We pray for our parishioners, that by the grace of God, we may take every chance to repent and make lasting changes in our lives. 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 Li Chu’s daughter’s new born baby. May the Lord grant their family peace and good health. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for those whose names are in our Prayer Box, especially Chu Waitat, Liu Kejiu, Ni Yufang, Lydia Chen, Stephen Jerez, 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, may your mercy and kindness be felt by all of humanity, may we live our lives according to your loving plan and one day be received into your heavenly kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
