PRAY THE SALVATION OF EVERYONE

PRAYER BEFORE HOLY MASS
 
Act of Love beforeMass
O my God, I love Thee with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength and with no other desire than to be inseparably united to Thee. It is through Thy Divine Son that this union is about to be realized within me. In Holy Communion I long to identify myself with Him, that it will no longer be myself, but Him, who lives in me; and when I have received Jesus within myself, then I shall love and be loved by Thee in that same measure, in which I am united to Him. Hasten then, to give me Thy Divine Son, at the hands of Thy priest, that through Jesus, I may unite myself forever to Thee, O God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

First Reading 1 Tim. 2:1-8
Pray for everyone to God who wants everyone to be saved
My advice is that, first of all, there should be prayers offered for everyone – petitions, intercessions and thanksgiving – and especially for kings and others in authority, so that we may be able to live religious and reverent lives in peace and quiet. To do this is right, and will please God our saviour: he wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth. For there is only one God, and there is only one mediator between God and mankind, himself a man, Christ Jesus, who sacrificed himself as a ransom for them all. He is the evidence of this, sent at the appointed time, and I have been named a herald and apostle of it and – I am telling the truth and no lie – a teacher of the faith and the truth to the pagans. 

In every place, then, I want the men to lift their hands up reverently in prayer, with no anger or argument.

Gospel Luke 7:1-10
Give the word and my servant will be healed
When Jesus had come to the end of all he wanted the people to hear, he went into Capernaum. A centurion there had a servant, a favourite of his, who was sick and near death. Having heard about Jesus he sent some Jewish elders to him to ask him to come and heal his servant. When they came to Jesus they pleaded earnestly with him. ‘He deserves this of you’ they said ‘because he is friendly towards our people; in fact, he is the one who built the synagogue.’ So Jesus went with them, and was not very far from the house when the centurion sent word to him by some friends: ‘Sir,’ he said ‘do not put yourself to trouble; because I am not worthy to have you under my roof; and for this same reason I did not presume to come to you myself; but give the word and let my servant be cured. For I am under authority myself, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one man: Go, and he goes; to another: Come here, and he comes; to my servant: Do this, and he does it.’ When Jesus heard these words he was astonished at him and, turning round, said to the crowd following him, ‘I tell you, not even in Israel have I found faith like this.’ And when the messengers got back to the house they found the servant in perfect health.

My Father in heaven I offer my prayers offered for everyone, petitions, intercessions and thanksgiving. I pray for the salvation of all your creatures,  and I pray especially for those in authority, that we may be able to live religious and reverent lives in peace and quiet through Jesus Christ our Lord .

Lord Jesus Christ I thank you for the priviledge of coming to you every moment of my life in my unworthyness. Lord my Saviour you are never tired of me.  It is very comforting to know I have a loving Master ever near, ever present to listen to me as a true friend and brother. I am grateful to you my Lord and Saviour. 

Thank you Heavenly Father for giving us your Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. To you Father be all glory, worship and adoration through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Virgin Mary my Mother pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. Saint John Chrysostom pray for me. My guardina angel pray for me, protect and guide me.
