Vincentian youth pray/reflect before WYD

Vincentians pray for mission

Friday at the International Vincentian Youth (EIJV) began with morning prayer for a missionary spirit. “The Vincentian Youth are invited to embrace the mission of Christ Youth.Living the dynamics of dispossession to embrace the brothers in their needs is to put not only the service, but be an example to those who are on the walk, “prayed the participants.

A group state the parable of the rich young man (Mt 9:16-22) . The actor playing Jesus shod in sandals representing Frederic Ozanam – principal founder of the Society of St. Vincent. The scenario represented humility and above all the importance that all follow the path of righteousness, the mission and against the poor. Soon, everyone received a keychain shaped slipper.

The morning closed with singing ‘Go missionary’.

New forms of poverty served as the theme of the first catechesis presented the International Vincentian Youth (EIJV). They were taught in three languages: English, Portuguese and Spanish.
