Prayer For Our Teenagers
O Lord, Bless all the young who are growing up in this world.
They are the promise of the future family, the future Church, the future world.
Guide their idealism and energy, their need to take their lives into their own hands as adults, their openness to the rich variety of your creation.
Give them confidence, hope and gentle hearts.
Protect them from discouragement and cynicism, and from counterfeit values.
Give them, above all, the courage to take up their responsibilities, the wisdom to absorb the best of the past and the happiness that comes from faith in you.
Amen
