† YOUCAN prayer
GOD OUR FATHER, it is you who give joy to our youth. Enable us to encourage and strengthen one another so that we may both win salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ and, watching or sleeping, live always united to him. Through the same Christ Our Lord.
CF. I THESSALONIANS 5, 9-11; PSALM 43 (42), 4
- Love God and neighbour
- We are brothers and sisters in Christ. We help each other get to heaven and grow in holiness
- YouCAN is predominantly a social group. Discussions of any kind must be conducted in a spirit of humility, and respect that others may hold an equally valid, but different, view.
- We stand for The One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and submit to The Supreme Pontiff, Pope Francis
- Young Catholic adults in YouCAN come from many different backgrounds and cultures. We respect that others may hold different views, and celebrate Mass in a different way, to ourselves. We can learn from each other.
- We pray for all members of YouCAN, YouPARTNERS, and all of our Clergy and Religious
