Our Good Lord has seen the desires of His faithful and He is making the impossible possible these days. Yes... the Jesus Youth family is going to pray in Vatican during the entire lent, 24 hours, ie from Ash Wednesday to Easter ( 47 days to be very precise. )
During the Europe JY National Teams gathering in Assisi last November the leaders were deeply encouraged and convinced by the Holy Spirit to make this lent something very unique and grace filled. After a time of prayer and discussion the JY leaders from Europe decided that time has come where considerable amount of time should be spent before the Lord in Blessed Sacrament, lifting the needs of Holy Mother Church and the JY family. The season of Lent was selected ,keeping in mind both the liturgical calendar and also the Jesus Youth Jubilee calendar.
So after detailed discussion and prayer the following four areas were selected as the focal point of this year’s prayer campaign:

So after detailed discussion and prayer the following four areas were selected as the focal point of this year’s prayer campaign:
- For the Priests/ Seminarians and for the Vocation to Priesthood
- The Re -Evangelisation of Europe
- Intentions of Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI
- For the Sanctification of Jesus Youth Movement
There will be a chapel (Centro San Lorenzo) dedicated for the prayer campaign and another base where the volunteers can stay and rest when they come for prayer. Jesus Youth has been given permission by the Youth Section of the Pontifical Council for Laity in Vatican to use their chapel - Centro San Lorenzo. (this is a great privilege, since this is also the place where the World Youth Day Cross is kept when not travelling around the globe). This provides us with a great opportunity to work and pray with other international movements, volunteers and leaders.
Jesus Youth Europe will organize this intercession campaign before the Blessed Sacrament from Ash Wednesday (February 17) to Easter Vigil (April 3) total of 47 days and round the clock. JY Prayer Warriors from all around the globe are invited to make this great mission even greater. Also this invitation is extended to other Prayer Groups, Lay Associations and Movements to join us in this noble endeavour. Anyone who wants to pray and intercede will be welcomed to join us any time or day during the lent. It can be hours or days or weeks. We ( Jesus Youth Europe) will provide food, accommodation and other basic facilities for the volunteers during these days of prayer
We encourage all the JYs to spread the word around and encourage both physical participation and spiritual union with the mission.
We are happy to intercede for your needs..Kindly leave your prayer requests as comments here or send us an email to jylentenadoration@jesusyouth.org
