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.

ROSARY CRUSADE FOR WORLD PEACE

To all: DIOCESAN YOUTH DIRECTORS, COORDINATORS and LEADERS
HEADS and REPRESENTATIVES of FNYO-MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS

Dear fellow youth ministers,

Greetings in the Lord on this Day 299 of our CBCP Year of the Youth!

In behalf of our Chairman, His Excellency Most Rev. JOEL Z. BAYLON, DD, I endorse to all of you for your active participation and promotion the program "A Million Roses for the World", a prayer campaign for all Filipinos (whether living here in the Philippines or elsewhere in the world) to pray the rosary daily from today, 10 October 2011, until 31 May 2012. It aims to gather at least one million pledges from Filipinos who will pray the rosary for every nation and territory in the world. More details and downloadables about this are available at the website http://www.millionrosesfortheworld.org.

This program of the Family Rosary Crusade and of the CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Catechesis and Catholic Education is endorsed by our CBCP President, His Excellency Most Rev. NEREO P. ODCHIMAR, DD, who seeks the commitment of all parishes, BECs, schools and other faith-communities in taking part in this potent and meaningful undertaking. His endorsement can also be downloaded from the website.

It is the earnest hope of our commission that, through your creative and lively leadership, the young people in your dioceses and movements will be enthused to be counted and participate in this beautiful program. Let us all see in this campaign a fitting venue to live the objectives of our on-going CBCP Year of the Youth and to affirm our youth ministry even beyond this special year for us.

I thank you for your kind attention. Let us meet each day in the rosary garden of our Blessed Mother, united among ourselves and with our brothers and sisters all over the world in our imitation of Christ who is our peace [cf. Eph 2:14-15].

With Mary, standing firm in Christ,

REV. FR. CONEGUNDO B. GARGANTA
Executive Secretary CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Youth
