Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Prayers of the Faithful
Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, in today’s Gospel, Jesus sent His 12 disciples to drive out unclean spirits, to cure every disease and illness, and to proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. In faith, let us offer these prayers to the Lord:
L. We pray for our parishioners, may we incorporate habits of holiness in our daily lives, so that we may build spiritual strength and gain greater intimacy with God. 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 intention of Wang Shuangsan’s fifth sister and her husband. 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 all Christians may take an active part in building your kingdom of peace, fairness and righteousness on earth. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
