Wake up!

Wake up
Wake up
This word speaks of a responsibility
Which the lord gives you. It is the duty
To be vigilant, not to allow the pressures
The temptations and the sins of ourselves
Or others to dull our sensitivity to the beauty of holiness, to the joy of the gospel

Today’s responsorial psalm invites us
Constantly to be glad and sing for joy
No one who sleeps can sing, dance or rejoice
It’s no good when I see young people who are asleep
No! Wake up! Go! Go ahead!
Dear young people, God, our God, has blessed us

From him we have received mercy
Assured of God’s love, go out to the world so that
By the mercy shown to you, they – your friends
Co-workers, neighbors, countrymen
Everyone on this great continent
May now receive the mercy of God
It is by his mercy that we are saved

Asian youth, wake up!
Ego sum resurrectio et vita
Qui credit in me
Etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet
Et omnis qui vivit et credit in me
Non morietur in aeternum

Ego sum resurrectio et vita
Qui credit in me
Etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet
Et omnis qui vivit et credit in me
Non morietur in aeternum
