"Take Courage! I have overcome the world."
— John 16:33
Official Prayer for World Youth Day Seoul 2027

Loving Lord of all young people,
we thank you for inviting us into your infinite love and mercy.

Our Father, we entrust ourselves to you.
May young people everywhere be comforted in the embrace of your Church, and come to share deeply in the joy of communion and unity.

Lord Jesus Christ, you overcome the world, both now and forever.
May all people discover the hope that lies in your call to take courage, realizing that the cross of love and forgiveness is the true victory over the world.

Oh Holy Spirit, Flame of Love, by your wonderous hand you have sown the seeds of faith in Korea.
Kindle the flame of the Korean martyrs’ faith in our hearts, making us into disciples who live out the gospel of peace, love, and truth.

Lord, we pray that through this pilgrim journey of World Youth Day we may listen to each other, discern your will, and become a synodal Church, walking together with all of God’s people. Amen.


???? Our Lady of mercy and peace, pray for us.

???? Holy patrons of World Youth Day Seoul 2027, pray for all young people.
