“Come, blessed of my Father” (Matthew 25:34) was the invitation given to
28 young people of the Church of the Risen Christ who came together on 11th August for an afternoon of
reflection on the theme of PDYD 2, “Rejoice in the Lord always!”(Phil 4:4).
It started with the Enthronement of the Bible and an opening prayer led
by Mr. Sundanadas Sebastian who also shared his reflection on the PDYD 2
theme. He gave the youth five points
in answer to the question, “Why is there a need for the youth to rejoice in the
Lord always?” He elaborated on the promise
of spiritual salvation given to all followed by having the honour and blessing
of being a child of God (1 Jn 3:1-3). He
also explained a verse on David´s song, I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us
go to the house of the Lord” (Ps 122:1) as a blessing for being
members of the assembly of God. And
lastly, he assured the young people that rejoicing in the Lord is a privilege
to worship our God (Eph 5:19-20) and an opportunity to study God´s inspired
Word for a dedicated Christian.
The young people then
animated the Sunset Mass that followed.
They also joined in the entrance procession, carried the five parts of
the PDYD 2 Cross and assembled it at the altar before Fr. Maiccal Sinappan, the
parish priest, blessed it with incense.
The PDYD 2 Cross then
will be brought to the last two parishes that will be celebrating PDYD 2 in the
parish level: Cathedral of the Holy Spirit (30 August 2012) and City Parish (1
September 2012).
