Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Prayers of the Faithful
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, in today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches us to be humble in two ways: by not seeking places of honor and by serving the ones who cannot repay us. In faith, let us offer these prayers to the Lord:
L. We pray for our parishioners, that we may conduct ourselves with humility, keeping in mind these words of Jesus: “everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” 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 the mother and grandmother of Chen Shihui. 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 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 us the grace that we may desire not earthly rewards, but the reward of eternal life in heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
