The “Pilgrim Prayer,” the official prayer of World Youth Day 2023, scheduled to be held in Lisbon, Portugal was recently released by the Vatican. This is the official prayer of the upcoming global gathering of the pope and Catholic youth from around the world.
The last World Youth Day was held in Panama City, Panama in January 2019. Recent World Youth Days have hosted millions of youths. Please consider praying this special prayer over the next several years both for those who will be attending the event and for a successful gathering that will fill our younger generation with the Holy Spirit.
Pilgrim Prayer:
Our Lady of the Visitation,
you who left in 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!
