Monday October 20th, 2008 - A prayer for missionaries.
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
Christ our God, the source of wisdom and Bridegroom of the Church, You called
the Apostles to follow You and to become fishers of men, giving them authority to cast out
unclean spirits and to heal every disease and infirmity.You commissioned them to make
disciples of all nations and to feed your sheep. On the day of Pentecost, You sent the
Holy Spirit to fortify them, enabling them to fill people’s lives with Your saving love.
Continue to act today, loving Savior, for the good of Your Holy Church.
Send Your Holy Spirit upon dedicated men and women; inspire them to respond to Your Great
Commission and to serve You as missionaries, for the building up of Your Body, the Church.
Through the prayers of all the holy missionary saints, strengthen all who are preparing to
serve and those who serve Your Holy Church in humility and love. For You are a loving and
merciful God, and unto You we give glory, together with Your eternal Father, and Your all-holy,
good and life-giving Spirit, now and forever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Monday October 13th, 2008 - Prayer for the people of China.
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord You call us to go into all the world and preach the good news, for you
are the way, the truth and the light. Today we pray for the people of China who live in spiritual
darkness. They need your light. As You brought back to life the Widow's son so resurrect the
Christian church in China. Reopen old churches and build new ones. Just as Orthodox Christian
are sent out to Europe, India and Africa, we pray the country of China will be added to the
list and that these children will hear your call and be missionaries. We pray in the name
of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Amen.
