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.

WITNESSES OF HOPE



(Official Theme Song of the 25th Local World Youth Day-Archdiocese of Cebu)
Lyrics by: Floreza Duque-Alpuerto & Fr. Vic Amplayo-OSA
Music by: Fr. Vic Amplayo, OSA
Performed by: Ms. Anna Fegi
From the mountains and hills our voices come forth
The birds of the air define our true worth
Scattered across the land but united in love
Hand in hand, we will share what we have.

In the heart of this island are a people of hope
Shining brightly like stars, people of joy
Warm as the rising sun, with a common goal
One heart and soul for the glory of God

Chorus:
We are called to be witnesses of hope
In our mission to the world
And we are called to bring peace and reconciliation
In our mission to the world... here and now.

Come and join in the mission, people of hope
Let your hearts be on fire, burning with love
Bring each and everyone to the Lord
Set all our hopes on the living God!

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Lets move on and soar high, move on and soar high with the Lord!
