World Youth Day Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Word of God –the message of service
On the contemporary word it is a challenge of holiness;
Reality therefore, you are called to believe:
Little of reason; little of emotion to perceive-
Details of truth in human terms and condition

You are in great distress before modernity
Over the years of wrestle against dishonesty;
Under the banner of secrets and lies-
The culture of no sense of sin in your heart dwells;
Have no fear, and learn to share in God’s mission

Duty and responsibility –the pillar of fate
Across time and space ne charitable in your faith
Yes, be open to the possibilities of sacrifice
-the saving act of God through Christ’s passion
