leaders of your Church, our Pope Francis, ArchBishop John Wong, our Parish Priest Fr. Fundes and Fr. Tony. Keep them faithful to their vocation and to the proclamation of your message. Teach them to recognize and interpret the signs of the times. Strengthen them with the gifts of the Spirit, and help them to serve their subjects, especially the poor and lowly. Give them a definite sense of your presence in the world and a knowledge of how to show it to others. We pray to the Lord.

We pray for all those whose task it is to
lead nations, especially the leaders who will be chosen (elected) in the coming election, that their leadership is just, righteous and fair and may they reflect the wisdom and loving care just like Jesus towards his people.
We pray to the Lord.

We pray for those who burdened by any
kind of difficutlies, Give strength to those who are weary and new courage to those who have lost heart. Hear the prayers of all who call on You Lord, in any trouble that they may have the joy of receiving Your help in their need. We pray to the Lord.

We pray for our parish community,
especially our own community here in Stella Maris, that we may be filled and be open to the power of Gods Spirit and love. Let us be the instruments to do the work of the Lord, so that we can bring the truth to those who are searching for Him. We pray to the Lord.
