PRIEST: In today’s second reading, St. John writes, “We have confidence in God, and receive from him whatever we ask.” In perfect trust, let us bring our needs before the Lord.

1. For God’s holy church, by remaining on the true vine may it bear great fruit for the glory of God and the service of all people, we pray to the Lord.

3. For all gathered here, may we follow Jesus’s commandment to love others in word and in deed, we pray to the Lord.

4. For those nearing the end of life, may they be comforted and sustained by a loving community, and know deeply the tenderness of God, we pray to the Lord.

5. That God’s kindness be upon those who have died and have put their hope in him, especially Luca Sy Tran, Joseph Jimmy Tran, Dominico Chuong Tran, Dominico Tho Dinh, Casimiro Garcia, Umberto Villarica, Marlene Velasquez, we pray to the Lord.
