God of life, we thank you for the creativity and vibrancy with which you enrich young people. We thank you that your Son Jesus Christ as a young person, surrendered his life to your will that the whole world may find the newness of life. We pray for wisdom and understanding, strength and power, visions and dreams to create a world of justice, equality and peace through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
