2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Prayers of the Faithful
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians tell us that the Holy Name of Jesus is the Name that is above every name. As we put our trust in the Most Holy Name of Jesus, let us offer these prayers to the Lord:
L. We pray for our parishioners, that whatever we do, in word or in deed, we may do everything in the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. 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 spread the powerful Name of Jesus to all the Chinese people around us. We pray to the Lord.
L: This Mass is being offered by Michelle Puk for her deceased husband Peter Wan. May the Lord grant him eternal rest. 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, Pan Bohao and Xu Taicheng. We pray to the Lord.
L: We pray for the souls of Purgatory, may our prayers aid them in their purification, so 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 and petitions in the Most Holy Name of Jesus may always grant us your blessing and protection. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
