Almighty God, we give you thanks for choosing many Chinese faithful

to witness to Christ by giving up their lives.

We especially thank you for bestowing sainthood on over one hundred Chinese martyrs,

gathered around the Risen Lord in heaven after serving him faithfully here on earth.

We beg you that through the intercession of all martyrs would be beatified and canonized 

as saints to glorify you.

We also pray that we may follow the example of these Chinese martyrs by remaining

strong in faith, home and love, by overcoming fear of hardship and sacrifice,

and by boldly proclaiming our faith.

May the Gospel of Jesus Christ be spread throughout China and may the Chinese people 

in all parts of the world receive the light of faith and the grace to follow Christ each day,

so as to enter your everlasting Kingdom.

We ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

God, forever and every. Amen.
