Prayer from Pope Francis

Posted: 3rd June 2019

For young people  

We thought you would be interested in the following prayer which was written by Pope Francis on Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment following the Synod of bishops held in October 2018 on that topic.

Lord Jesus

in journeying towards the Synod, your Church

turns her attention to all the young people of the world.

We pray that they might boldly take charge of their lives,

aim for the most beautiful and profound things of life

and always keep their hearts unencumbered.

Accompanied by wise and generous guides, help them respond to

the call you make to each of them,

to realize a proper plan of life and achieve happiness.

Keep their hearts open to dreaming great dreams

and make them concerned for the good of others.

 

Like the Beloved Disciple, may they stand at the foot of the Cross,

to receive your Mother as a gift from you.

May they be witnesses to your Resurrection

and be aware that you are at their side

as they joyously proclaim you as Lord.

Amen.
