A Reading from St Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy

I am reminding you now to fan into a flame the gift that God gave you when I laid my hands on you.God’s gift was not a spirit of timidity, but the spirit of power, and love and self-control. So you are never to be ashamed of witnessing to the Lord. The Word of the Lord

Thanks be to God

Reader: God our Father, we pray that you fan into a flame the gift of faith So that we can go from this place with fire in our hearts. Empowered by your Spirit, we ask for the strength To contribute our time, talents and treasure for the good of all.We ask that we have the courage to follow the call of Pope FrancisTo ‘Go, do not be afraid and serve’ others

We pray that this Youth Friday will bring new life into our hearts and into our Church and allow our youth ministry to grow so that more young people will experience the treasures of our faith. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

In the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.
