Prayer for young people: "Who do you say that I am?"

Dear young people, today Christ is asking you the same question which he asked the Apostles: "Who do you say that I am?"

Respond to him with generosity and courage, as befits young hearts like your own. Say to him:

"Jesus, I know that you are the Son of God, who have given your life for me. I want to follow you faithfully and to be led by your word. You know me and you love me. I place my trust in you and I put my whole life into your hands. I want you to be the power that strengthens me and the joy which never leaves me".

-- Benedict XVI
