Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Prayers of the Faithful
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, in today’s Gospel, our Lord Jesus Christ said to the people: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me… for my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” In faith, let us offer these prayers to the Lord:
L. We pray for our parishioners, that we may find joy and peace in observing the teachings of Jesus Christ. 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. We pray for persecuted Christians around the world. May the Holy Spirit grant them courage and strength to persevere in the faith. We pray to the Lord.
L: This Mass is offered for the deceased husband and nanny of Wang Shuang-san. May the Lord grant them eternal rest. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for those whose names are in our Prayer Box, especially Jasmine Ho, Michael Tan, Bian Meiyi, Chen Shupeng, 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 we may learn to surrender the heavy loads that we carry in life to Jesus, and trust that He will lighten it for us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
