Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Prayers of the Faithful
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, in today’s Gospel, the parable of the persistent widow teaches us to pray always without becoming weary. In faith, let us offer these prayers to the Lord:
L. We pray for our parishioners, that we may become men and women of prayer, and always come before God with unwavering faith. 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 offered for Lu Shumi’s family, may the Lord grant them good health and peace. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for those whose names are in our Prayer Box, especially Gao Aishang, Xie Yannong, Xu Chunmei, Bian Meiyi, Chen Kun, Chen Shupeng, Ni Yufang, Lydia Chen, David Wang, Chen Jianxin, Liang Chenjing and Xu Taicheng. 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 that our prayers may bear good fruit, as we pursue your favor and holy will, and come to understand how you work and intervene in our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
