Standing Together in Prayer
On the International Youth Day, we pray with the youth of the East and the world:
O merciful Father, You who asked us to choose the path in life that leads to You, help us look back at our past with thankful eyes, live our present with courage, and build our future with hope. We thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, our brother and friend, for looking at us with eyes full of love. Help us listen to the sound of your voice resonating in our hearts with the strength and light of the holy Spirit. Give us the gift of being a harvesting Church, with strong faith and a youthful happy face of the Bible so we can build the world we dream of, a world of justice and fraternity.
