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.

25th LOCAL WORLD YOUTH DAY
March 27-28, 2010; Blessed John XXIII Seminary

 
Gipadala kamo aron mahimong saksi sa paglaum alang sa kalibutan ning atong panahon. Bulahan kamo kay bisan duna kamoy mga suliran nga kamo ra'y nasayod, wala kamo nagpakawala'g paglaum. Ania kamo dinhi, dinasig sa inyong paglaum kang Jesus, nga maoy atong bugtong kahayag. Apan sayod usab ako nga kon unsa kamo kadaghan dinhi, dunay mas daghan pa nga wala karon dinhi, nga wala masayod kung asa padulong ang dalan nga ilang gilaktan.

Keynote Address at the Second Youth Ministers' Convention
September 27, 2009; Cebu Cathedral Museum

 
I wish I could be young again and join you in FUEL. There is so much to do that I could not do anymore. There are so many young people who have not known God, because their social environment has drowned out the voice that calls them to freedom.

LOCAL WORLD YOUTH DAY
April 4, 2009; Naga, Cebu

 
Kita nga naghulat sa kahayag dili unta mahadlok sa banag-banag. Ang tawo nga walay gihambin nga dautan sa iyang kasingkasing dili gayod mahadlok kung moabot na ang Ginoo aron mobutyag sa tanang gitagoan.....

Ang "maluloy-on" diay nga anak andam ug tagan sa "pagtudlo" sa iyang "makaluluoy" nga "ginikanan" tungod kay miangkon, sa dakong pagpaubos, nga "wala masayod", ug wala dayon makasabot.

LOCAL WORLD YOUTH DAY

Pagkanindot sa inyong kahimtang karon. Kamong mga batan-on dili gayud makaamgo kun unsay bililhon nganha kaninyo tungod kay wala pa man kamo makabati nga sakit na ang inyong tuhod, nga ngulngol ang inyong likod.....

LOCAL WORLD YOUTH DAY
March 31, 2007; Alcantara, Cebu

 
Sama sa usa ka ginikanan, ang Simbahan adunay duha ka pagbati alang kaninyo. Ang usa ka ginikanan adunay kahangawa alang sa iyang anak, apan aduna pod siya’y paglaum alang kaniya. Mao usab ang Simbahan. Ang Simbahan nahangawa kaninyo......

I am already seventy-five years old, but being with you makes me feel young. It was a long time ago when I was young, but do you know what if feels to be seventy-five years old? My back aches, my sight is getting dimmer, my heart sometimes beats erratically, but I have a secret to tell you......

Keynote Address at the 1st Convention for Youth Ministers
JUNE 30, 2007; CAPA OFFICE, Patria de Cebu Bldg.

 
It was in such a period that Christianity undertook its greatest expansion. People have become tired with the constant squabbles among the political powers. Intrigue among the ruling class diminished the stature of emperors, consuls, senators and generals.......
