Life Teen Prayer
Father, TAKE the lives of our teens. We offer them to You with open hands.
Through the example of Jesus, teach them to surrender their lives fully to You.
BLESS them with the knowledge that they are Your beloved ones
and that they truly belong to a community of love and mercy.
BREAK open their hearts so that the seed of the Word
and the power of the Eucharist can be planted in fertile ground,
take root and transform their lives.
GIVE these teens to the world with the power of the Holy Spirit
to witness to the love of Jesus and serve Him in each person they meet.
Let this Life Teen ministry be bread for the world.
As Christ gave You thanks and fed many, may we give You thanks for this ministry
and ask You to "multiply" it and nurture its growth for Your glory.
Amen!
"You are young, and the Pope is old... But the Pope still fully identifies with your hopes and aspirations. Although I have lived through much darkness, under harsh totalitarian regimes, I have seen enough evidence to be unshakably convinced that no difficulty, no fear is so great that it can completely suffocate the hope that springs eternal in the hearts of the young. You are our hope, the young are our hope.
Do not let that hope die! Stake your lives on it! We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures; we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of his Son."
-Pope John Paul II, WYD 2002
