Prayer of the Youth
on the occasion of the CBCP Year of the Youth

Almighty Father, God of life and love,
through time and ages, You love us.
You trust and choose us
to participate in Your saving work.

Bless us, Your young people,
with Your grace.
Give us the gift of living life to the full
by encountering Your Son
in a personal way
and sustaining a relationship with Him,
by learning what life truly is
from His words and works,
from His filial relationship with You,
And by living in true and fruitful
communion with You
and with one another.

Empower us through Your Holy Spirit
to stand firm in the faith.
May we bring our fellow young people
closer to You so that together,
we become agents of change
and builders of a society of justice and
solidarity, love and peace.

Enable all of us:
Your young people,
together with those ministering to us
in the Church, in families and in society,
to make a decisive response
to our universal vocation;
to live fully and fruitfully
by doing everything in love
as we follow Jesus Christ
along the path of genuine trust in You.

In communion with the rest of the Church,
we pray that this CBCP Year of the Youth
become a kairos time
for the youth ministry of Your Church
and a new springtime for us,
Filipino youth: a special period
of growing in Your grace
through our living in youthful holiness
and through our effort to reach out
as a Church to those waiting for Your love.

Together with our Blessed Mother,
our model in giving oneself
entirely to Your will,
we lift this prayer to You
in Jesus Christ, Your Son,
our Friend, Brother and Lord,
in the Power of the Holy Spirit,
now and forever. Amen.

The LWYD09 theme song is Growing Together in Grace, written by Rev. Fr. Vic F. Amplayo, OSA, arranged by Nendel Endrina and performed by Apple Abarquez of ABS-CBN's Pinoy Dream Academy.

Growing Together in Grace will rally young Catholics of all backgrounds to Local World Youth Day in 2009.

On April 2-5, 2009, the streets of Naga, Cebu will be abuzz with song, as thousands of young people from all around the region gather to celebrate the 24th Local World Youth Day of the Archdiocese of Cebu (LWYD09). Growing Together in Grace will be their anthem!

Vic Amplayo, OSA wrote this beautiful song. He is a faith-filled young priest as well as top artist. His theme is the words from the Cebu Archdiocesan Pastoral Thrust. "Growing together in Grace as the Body of Christ" (Ephesian 2:27). Others, too, joined in the production. Together they have given God and the youth of the world something very beautiful.

Through this music young people have the opportunity to reflect upon key themes of the Gospel, upon the opportunities God gives them, and upon the world they can build together, a world in which "Every parish, every diocese, come together." We look forward to joining you in Naga in April 2009 to sing so to pray double.
