Jesus - the one who was Holy who became man, so that men will have the opportunity to become Holy, so that through the Holy name of Jesus, we receive redemption, forgiveness, eternal life, and the power of the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us.
Through the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to become witnesses to the ends of the earth bringing the good news of salvation.
Father God, through the name of your son- Jesus who cleansed us with His most Precious Blood, we pray for forgiveness for every sin of omission and commission, so that the anointing of the Holy Spirit will flow freely upon us. Unworthy as we are, we thank you for calling us (Youth for Family and Life) by name to serve You in our capacity as young adults to be instruments for spiritual renewal to our fellow youth not only in our respective state, or country, but throughout the whole world. We thank You for giving us the opportunity to meet every year through our National Conferences to strengthen our bonds as brothers and sisters in one big community doing a preferential work with the poor, work for social justice, and work for life. We pray that through the course of planning, organizing and implementing this conference, the Holy Spirit will work in us and though us (Body, mind and spirit), making us humble, patient, understanding, persevering, loving, forgiving and full of self-control. We pray for guidance and protection of all working committees to stand in unity against the snares of the evil one. We pray for the enlightenment of all speakers, and as we prepare to invite participants, we pray that everyone will respond with open heart and be willing to attend and be inspired and empowered in this annual spiritual infilling retreat.
We lift up to you Oh Lord our God, our Servant Leaders in the CFC-FFL, the Family Ministries, The Host State (New York)CFC-YFL, together we offer our joys, excitements, challenges and empowerment.
Almighty God, may we be able to achieve our theme: CHOOSE LIFE from Deuteronomy 30:19
through the leading of YOUR SON –JESUS CHRIST and the empowerment of the HOLY SPIRIT. Amen.
