Spiritual Preparation  

​

One of our custom in Gebirah is that within 8 days before each mission, we do the following: 

• Daily Mass  

• Daily prayer for the mission, missioners and our Friends in Need (including the Rosary and Angelus)   

• Confession 

• Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father and Cardinal.

 

This helps prepare ourselves spiritually which is critical to having a meaningful mission. 

 

Prayer Assignments

 

You may also be each assigned a prayer to lead the group each day during our mission. The purpose is to keep us all on track spiritually and to always have the presence of God in our minds as we serve this community. An e-prayer card will be shared to help you recite the prayers.

So please remember to bring your rosary. If you don't have one, let your Mission Lead know.
 

Petitions

​

Another one of the customs we have in Gebirah Missions is to invite family

and friends to submit petitions to Mother Mary during our pilgrimage.

​

At the end of our mission, we will make a pilgrimage to the iconic Cristo Rei
of Dili, one of the most beloved Catholic landmarks in Timor-Leste.

​

Standing 27 metres high on a hill overlooking the sea, Christ the King
stretches His arms over the nation as if embracing its people.

​

To reach the summit, pilgrims climb over 500 steps, passing the Stations of
the Cross along the way. As we ascend together in prayer, we will reflect on
Christ’s Passion and offer our mission, the people we have served, and our
own lives to God.

​​

During this pilgrimage, we will also offer up any petitions we bring from

home for Our Mother’s intercession. If someone you know would like to

seek her intercession—for healing, reconciliation, financial difficulties, or

any other intention—you can invite them to write their petition to Mother

Mary, seal it in an envelope, and we’ll bring it with us. 

At the shrine, we will prayerfully offer these sealed petitions before Our

Lady. Afterward, we will burn the envelopes ensuring your petitions remain

private, if there is no box to place it in at the site.

​​

If you have any quesions or need any help, please do not hesitate to ask

your Mission Lead.
