Prayer to the Martyrs of China
Almighty God, we give you thanks for choosing many Chinese faithful to witness for Christ by giving up their lives. We especially thank you for bestowing sainthood on over one hundred martyrs of China. We beg you that through the intercession of all the martyr-saints of China, many more Chinese would know Christ and follow His Way. We also pray that we may follow the example of these martyrs by remaining strong in faith, hope and love, by overcoming fear and hardship and sacrifice, and by boldly proclaiming our faith. May the Gospel of Jesus Christ be spread throughout China and may 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, one God forever and ever. Amen.
