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.

TO THE CLERGY, THE RELIGIOUS AND LAY FAITHFUL OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF CEBU:

RE: PRAYER FOR THE CANONIZATION OF BLESSED PEDRO CALUNGSOD


Thank you very much for the prayers offered last Thursday, 30 September, for the Canonization Cause of Blessed Pedro Calungsod. The Vatican inquiry last week was the first series of which we will lead to a successful conclusion.

With this letter, I have enclosed a prayer for the canonization of Blessed Pedro both in English and in Cebuano. I encourage everyone of you to pray it everyday. I encourage all church organizations and prayer groups to pray it in their usual gatherings.

I also ask that, in the General Intercessions or Prayers of the Faithful in the Holy Masses, the last petition would be for the Canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod.

This we all gladly do with perseverance for the greater glory of the Most Holy Name of Jesus and for the good of our souls.

With my paternal blessings,




RICARDO J. CARDINAL VIDAL
Archbishop of Cebu

O God, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, graciously grant the canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod, if it be for the greater glory of your Name and for the good our souls. AMEN.

Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory be.

O Dios, pinaagi sa pangama sa Mahal nga Birhen Maria, mapuangurong itugot ang Kanonisasyon ni Beato Pedro Calungsod, kung ugaling kini alang sa labaw'ng kahimayaan sa Imong Ngalan ug alang sa kaayohan sa among mga kalag. AMEN.

Amahan Namo.... Maghimaya ka Maria... Himaya sa Amahan....

(Petition for the General Intercessions (Prayers of the Faithful) at Holy Mass.

For the Canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod, let us pray to the Lord.

Alang sa Kanonisasyon ni Beato Pedro Calungsod, mag-ampo kita sa Ginoo.
