Prayer of the Faithful For 19th October 2025 Introduction Dear brothers and sisters, on this World Mission Sunday, we are called to renew our baptismal commitment. In communion with the Holy Father and as we journey toward the Jubilee of 2025, let us strive to be true 'Pilgrims of Hope,' proclaiming the Gospel through our words, our faith, our perseverance, and our love. Prayer of the faithful Celebrant : Trusting in God's boundless mercy, let us present our needs to the Father. Response : Lord hear our prayer. For our Holy Father, Pope Leo, our Bishops, and all Church leaders: that they may be filled with wisdom and missionary zeal, guiding God's people with courage and humble service, we pray to the Lord. For all missionaries, especially those in places of danger, persecution, or isolation: that they may be strengthened by the Holy Spirit and protected by God's grace as they witness to the Gospel of peace, we pray to the Lord. For our twin mission of Shirpur, and for all Pontifical Mission Societies: that the Holy Spirit may bless the priests, sisters, and catechists in their work, and multiply the generosity of all who support them, we pray to the Lord. For our parish community: that our celebration today may renew in us a missionary spirit, moving us to sow seeds of hope through prayer, joyful witness, and generous sharing of our resources, we pray to the Lord. (Let us now pray silently for our own personal intentions and for the needs of our community…… we pray to the Lord.) Celebrant : God of all nations, you sent your Son, Jesus, to be the Light of the world. Hear the prayers of your missionary Church and grant us the grace to proclaim His Gospel to the whole creation with faith, perseverance, and love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
