OFFICIAL WORLD YOUTH DAY 2011
PRAYER

Lead me in the path of your love and keep me faithful to the journey I make. With the fire of your spirit illumine the road I travel and help me when I stumble and fall. With your Word of Truth make me a faithful pilgrim and help me choose what is right and just and true.

From your heart of love give me the grace I need to love my fellow pilgrims and to share with them your peace. With the power of your cross teach me to pour out myself in the service of the poor, that my life might be filled with your love.
From the table of your Word and your Body and Blood, nourish me with food that gives life. Lead my steps safely along the path and gather me with all your sons and daughters, together with our Holy Father, and all who make their way to you and the life you promise.
Grant this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
