Dear Intercessor in Christ,
''Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak''(Ephesians 6:18-20).
We can learn a lot from Paul’s words here about something we should be praying for. Of course, we can pray for anything, big or small: our daily needs, our personal struggles, our relationships, our loved ones, and our hopes and dreams. God always hears believers in Christ when they pray. Yet for Paul, there is something central to God’s plans and purposes that he wants his readers especially to pray for. It’s at the heart of what Paul has been writing about throughout his letter to the Ephesians. In short, Paul wants his readers to pray for evangelization. He wants them to pray that the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ will go out to the world, through him, his readers and through others.
Could we spend some time every day to pray fro Evangelization? also for every missionaries who is sharing God's word in their daily life?
Please also pray for the following requests which we've received through the parish website over the past week by offering the sacrifice of your prayers from the comfort of your own home. Further, please feel free to submit your own prayer intentions through the prayer page on our parish website. You may also like to invite others to join this emerging and vital ministry.
