World Youth Day 2011 Prayer God of hope and
grace, send your Holy Spirit as our helper and
guide. As we prepare for World Youth Day in
Madrid, help us to build on the many graces and
experiences that were the fruit of World Youth
Day in Sydney. Send us the power of your Spirit,
so that we may continue to be your witnesses in
service and love to all youth in Australia.
35
May we journey together in the great south land
of the Holy Spirit and share in this pilgrimage
of faith. Pour your love into our lives so that
we may be apostles of reconciliation and builders
for the new creation. Nourish and unite us
through the Eucharist, so that in faith we may be
planted and built up in Jesus Christ.
36
We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady
of the Southern Cross and in the name of our Lord
Jesus, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit one God forever and ever. Amen. Mary,
Help of Christians. Pray for us. Saint Mary of
the Cross MacKillop. Pray for us.
