Prayer for the preparation of WYD Seoul 2027
Loving Father of all young people,
help those whom you created in your image
come to know the love that led you to give your only Son.
Give them the grace of meeting Jesus Christ
so that they may love all they meet in their lives.
Gather the young people you so love into your Church,
led by the Holy Spirit,
so they can experience your mercy.
Help us be with them in their struggles and pain,
welcome them into the Church,
and accompany them in the work of spreading the gospel.
Just as you saved the world
through the cross and resurrection of your Son,
use WYD Seoul 2027 to rekindle the flames of their faith,
renew your Church and the world,
and spread the gospel to the ends of the earth. Amen.
Holy Mary, patron of the Catholic Church in Korea,
pray for our young people.
All the martyrs and saints of Korea,
pray for us.
