INTRODUCTORY RITES

The Holy Father:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Brethren, 

chosen according to the foresight of God the Father 

through the sanctification of the Spirit

OPENING GREETING 

AND CALL TO CONVERSION

Dear friends,

At the conclusion of the Fifth International Youth Forum, 

I am pleased to be here with you 

around the altar of the Lord 

for the celebration of the Eucharist. 

Through you,

I cordially greet the youth of your Countries,

and wish to express to everyone

my affection, my trust and my hope.

Together, let us lift our eyes to the Lord Jesus,

sent by the Father to save the world:

from him let us accept eagerly

the invitation to become his collaborators

in the task of announcing the Good News.

To be able to approach worthily

the table of the Word and the Bread,

let us ask forgiveness for our sins with humility

and place our lives in the mercy of God.

After a short silence, the lector makes the invocations:

– Lord, sent by the Father to announce the Good News,

you teach us to deny ourselves

and lose our life in order to save it (Lk 9:12),

have mercy on us.

R. Kyrie, eleison.

– Christ, true priest,

you did not come into the world to be served

but rather to serve us and to give your life (Mk 10:45),

have mercy on us.

R. Kyrie, eleison.

– Lord, fullness of love,

you are the Master who washed our feet

and ordered us to do the same to one another (Jn 13:13-14),

have mercy on us.

R. Kyrie, eleison.

The Holy Father:

May almighty God have mercy on us,

forgive us our sins,

and bring us to everlasting life.

R. Amen.

OPENING PRAYER

The Holy Father:

God, you have willed that your Church

be the sacrament of salvation for all nations,

so that Christ’s saving work may continue to the end of the ages;

stir up, we pray, the hearts of your faithful

and grant that they may feel a more urgent call

to work for the salvation of every creature,

so that from all the peoples on earth

one family and one people of your own

may arise and increase.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your on,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

R. Amen.

O God, you who at all times sustain your Church 

and assist her by the gift of your grace, 

look upon us gathered before you 

in humble thanksgiving. 

Guide us with your light, 

set us afire with your charity,

the wonders of your love. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
