SILVER JUBILEE PRAYER

MINDANAO SULU PASTORAL CONFERENCE- YOUTH CONGRESS
Silver Jubilee Prayer

Compassionate God our Father, we celebrate with joy and thanksgiving the Silver Jubilee of the foundation of MSPC-Youth Congress in the church especially in Mindanao Sulu. Grant that we may celebrate and honor this year of favor, committed to the ministries of the Church, in particular to the Youth Ministry- sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, following the way of Christ, attentive to your living Word.

In this age of constant and complex change, Your Will, O God, inspire our own desire to know, love and serve Jesus Christ Your Son, who calls us saying, “Come, Follow Me.” (Mt. 9:9)

Lord Jesus, we are strengthened by the 25 years of our journey and formations as youth. We are encouraged by the charism, vision and fervor of our pioneering Youth Ministers, Youth Leaders and all the young people who shared their talents, time and life. Enflame our hearts to heed the constant call to live fully the values of the Gospel and discover new signs of the richness and dynamism of a Christian. Propel us to move forward to take the challenges as Young leaders of today and tomorrow in our journey with the spirit of the MSPC and MSPC- YC in solidarity and camaraderie for total human development. Spirit of new life, lead us to commit ourselves with deepened Faith, to a New Way of Being Church, to share our experiences in working with the young people and our community in Building and Strengthening the Basic Ecclesial Community. Inspire us to understand and appreciate our significant role in the Church and society and grant us courage to commit ourselves to serve the Youth Ministry, the BEC and the church as a whole, with out counting the cost.

Hear our prayer during this Silver Jubilee! Following Jesus our model and Brother, transform us into a community that is Evangelized so that we too, become Evangelizers and catalyst of change among ourselves, communities, cultures and all creation. May the Youth and all God’s people become Witnesses of Jesus.

Holy Mary, pray for us that we may immulate your Faith, humility and purity. Mother of God, thank you for your love for us and guidance in our journey in life, grant that we may walk with the young and all people lovingly, as you accompanied Jesus all the way. Amen.
