World Youth Day Information
WORLD YOUTH DAY: Archbishop Sample and over 40 Young Adult pilgrims from across the Archdiocese of Portland are headed to the World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal. We invite you to pray for Archbishop Sample and our WYD Pilgrims by praying the official prayer of WYD. We pray for Archbishop Sample and our World Youth Day pilgrims, that while on their pilgrimage they may encounter Christ's merciful love for them and may share this burning love with all they encounter upon their return.
WORLD YOUTH DAY PRAYER: Our Lady of the Visitation, you who arose and went with haste towards the mountain to meet Elizabeth, lead us also to meet all those who await us to deliver them the living Gospel: Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord! We will go in a hurry, with no distraction or delay, but with readiness and joy. We will go peacefully, because those who take Christ take peace, and welldoing is the best wellbeing. Our Lady of the Visitation, with your inspiration, this World Youth Day will be the mutual celebration of the Christ we take, as You once did. Make it a time of testimony and sharing, fraternization, and giving thanks, each of us looking for the others who always wait. With you, we will continue on this path of gathering, so that our world will gather as well, in fraternity, justice and peace. Help us, Our Lady of the Visitation, to bring Christ to everyone, obeying the Father, in the love of the Spirit
