Prayer of the Faithful

For the prayer of the faithful, let our response be - Lord graciously hear us.


- Sunday 9th Nov 2008 - Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome)


############################################
Let us pray for the Mother Church, especially for the St. John Lateran Basilica in Rome, where they are celebrating the Feast of Dedication, may God bless them, renew their witness, and guide them in being a light for others, and may we be united in one Spirit and be a source of hope to all who struggle and feel God’s existence and mysterious presence. We pray this to the Lord.


Let us pray for all who exercise ministry in the church, especially Pope Benedict and the Bishops: that God will renew them in Spirit, guide them in bringing God’s love and truth to the world, and inspire them to bring forth all the gifts needed by the Body of Christ. We pray this to the Lord.


Let us pray for all the migrants here in Jinju, may the Lord see their sufferings from injustice and break down the barriers of prejudice, corruption, and selfishness, and open the gates of freedom and opportunity to all who are oppressed. May God change their hearts and open their minds to new ways to end violence and resolve disputes. We pray this to the Lord.


Let us pray for all of us, gathered here in faith, to celebrate this mass. May the Lord grant us sufficient courage to act as he did in the temple and to trust him whole heartedly always. May we all realize that every Mass is a chance for all of us, to join Jesus as part of this loving Paschal sacrifice, that puts God first, not second, not last in our lives. We pray this to the Lord.

This is our hope both for ourselves and those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. We pray this to the Lord

Let us pray for the all the migrants here in Jinju, may they tie their own hope in life after death tightly and irremovably to the resurrection of Jesus. So that by God’s gracious mercy, their loved and lost ones be raised to eternal life. And may they realize that the daily process of dying and rising will come to completion when we finally pass through physical death and rise to eternal life. We pray this to the Lord

Let us pray for all of us gathered here to commemorate the “All Souls day”, may we all fully understand the value of annually celebrating this feast day, which is to remember our beloved dead in the midst of a community of faith that believes in the hope of the gospel. God is love, and “life after death” is nothing less and nothing more than love. We pray this to the Lord
