 Soon afterward [Jesus] journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a
Draw Your Vision for the Church large crowd accompanied him.

As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being
carried out,
the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.

A large crowd from the city was with her.

When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to
her, “Do not weep.”

He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted,
and he said,

“Young man, I tell you, ARISE!”

The dead man sat up and began to speak,

and Jesus gave him to his mother.

 DIOCESAN YOUTH CAMP 2022 MESSAGE OF HIS
HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS

HASTAGS
FOR THE XXXVI WORLD
YOUTH DAY
21 November 2021

“Stand up. I appoint

# you as a witness of
what you have
seen." (cf. Acts 26:16)

# Dear young people,

Once again, I would like to take you by the hand and walk with
you on the spiritual pilgrimage that leads to the 2023 World Youth
Day in Lisbon.

# Last year’s Message, which I signed shortly before the pandemic

broke out, had as its theme: “Young man, I say to you, arise!”
(cf. Lk 7:14). In his providence, the Lord was already preparing us
for the grave challenge we were about to experience.

Everywhere in the world, we suffered the loss of so many of our

# dear ones and experienced social isolation. The health

emergency was a particular setback for you young people, for
your life is naturally directed outwards: to school or university, to
work and social gatherings. You found yourselves in difficult
situations that you were not used to facing. Those who found it
harder, or lacked support, felt disoriented. We saw a rise in family

# problems, unemployment, depression, loneliness and addictive

behaviour, to say nothing of growing stress, tensions, outbursts of
anger and increased violence.

Yet, thank God, this was only one side of the coin. The
experience showed us our fragility, but it also revealed our
virtues, including our inclination to solidarity.
-----------------------------------------------51--------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------04-----------------------------------------------
All over the world, we saw great numbers of individuals,
including many young people, helping to save lives, sowing
DIOCESAN YOUTH CAMP 2022
seeds of hope, upholding freedom and justice, and acting as

HASTAGS
peacemakers and bridge builders.

Whenever a young person falls, in some sense all humanity

falls. Yet it is also true that when a young person rises, it is as if
the whole world rises as well. Young people, what great

#
potential you have in your hands! What great strength you have
in your hearts!

Today too, God is saying to each one of you: “Arise!” I fervently

hope that this Message may help us prepare for new times and
a new page in the history of humanity. Yet we cannot begin
anew without you, dear young people. If our world is to arise, it
needs your strength, your enthusiasm, your passion. I would
like, then, to meditate with you on the passage of the Acts of the
Apostles where Jesus says to Saint Paul: “Arise! I have
#
appointed you to testify to what you have seen” (cf. Acts 26:16).

Paul’s witness before the king

The verse that has inspired the theme of the 2021 World Youth
Day is taken from the testimony of Paul before King Agrippa
#
following his imprisonment. Paul, formerly the enemy and
persecutor of Christians, is now on trial precisely for his faith in
Christ. Some twenty-five years later, the apostle recounted the
story of his fateful encounter with Christ. #
Paul states that he persecuted Christians, until one day while
travelling to Damascus to arrest some of them, a light “brighter
than the sun” shone around him and his companions
(cf. Acts 26:13). He alone, however, heard “a voice”: the voice
of Jesus who spoke to him, calling him by name. #
Saul! Saul!

Let us take a closer look at this event. By calling Saul by name,

the Lord made him realize that he knew him personally.

It was as if he said: “I know who you are and what you are up to;
even so, I am speaking directly to you”. Twice, the Lord calls Paul
by name as the sign of an important special vocation; so he had
earlier done with Moses (cf. Ex 3:4) and Samuel (cf. 1 Sam 3:10).
Falling to the ground, Saul realizes that he is witnessing a
theophany, a powerful divine revelation that throws him into
confusion, but does not destroy him. Instead, he finds himself
called by name.
Only a personal and non-anonymous encounter with Christ
changes lives. Jesus shows that he knows Saul very well, “inside
out”. Even though Saul is a persecutor, even though his heart is
full of hatred for Christians, Jesus realizes that this is due to
ignorance. He wants to show in him his mercy. This grace, this
unmerited and unconditional love, will be the light that radically
transforms Saul’s life.
Who are you, Lord?
Before this mysterious presence calling out his name, Saul asks:
“Who are you, Lord?” (Acts 26:15) This question is decisive, and
sooner or later all of us have to ask it. It is not enough to hear other
people speak about Jesus; we need to speak to him ourselves,
personally. Deep down, this is what prayer is all about. Prayer
means talking directly with Jesus, even though our heart may still
be confused and our mind full of doubts or even contempt for Christ
and Christians. I pray that every young person, in the depths of his
or her heart, will eventually ask the question: “Who are you, Lord?”
We can no longer assume that everyone knows Jesus, even in the
age of the internet. The question that many people are asking of
Jesus and his Church is precisely this: “Who are you?” In the entire
story of Saint Paul’s calling, this is the only time in which he, Paul,
speaks. And the Lord immediately replies: “I am Jesus whom you
are persecuting” (ibid.).
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting!”
------------------------------------------06------------------------------------------
 With this answer, Jesus reveals to Saul a great mystery: that he NEW FOUND FRIEND
sees himself as one with the Church, with Christians.
NAME: ______________________________________________________
Up to that point, Saul had seen nothing of Christ, but only the ADDRESS:____________________________________________________
faithful whom he had cast into prison (cf. Acts 26:10) and in whose

responded to evil with goodness, hatred with love, enduring

injustice, violence, calumnies and persecutions for the name of
Christ. In some way, without knowing it, Saul had already FACEBOOK: __________________________________________________

How many times have we heard it said “Jesus yes, the Church
no!”, as if one could be an alternative to the other. One cannot know

One cannot know Jesus apart from the brothers and sisters in his NAME: ______________________________________________________
community. We cannot call ourselves fully Christian unless we ADDRESS:____________________________________________________
experience faith’s ecclesial dimension.
PARISH: _____________________________________________________
“It hurts you to kick against the goads”

With these words, the Lord speaks to Saul after he had fallen to FACEBOOK: __________________________________________________
the ground. Yet for some time he had no doubt been mysteriously
repeating those same words to Saul, in an attempt to draw him to FAVORITE SAINT: ______________________________________________
himself. Saul, however, had resisted. Our Lord addresses that
same gentle “reproach” to every young person who turns away
from him: “How long will you flee from me? Why can’t you hear me NEW FOUND FRIEND
calling you? I am waiting for you to come back to me”. There are
times when we too say, like the prophet Jeremiah: “I will no longer NAME: ______________________________________________________
think about him” (cf. Jer 20:9). Yet a fire burns in every person’s ADDRESS:____________________________________________________
heart: even if we try to stifle it, we will not succeed, because it is

CONTACT NOS.: _______________________________________________

The Lord chose someone who was persecuting him, completely

God’s grace and mercy.

Of no one can we say: He’s too far gone… It’s too late… How
many young people passionately rebel and go against the grain,
while deep in their hearts they feel a need to be committed, to
love with all their heart, to have a mission in life! In the young
Saul, Jesus saw exactly that.
Recognizing our blindness
We can imagine that, before his encounter with Christ, Saul was
to some extent “full of himself”, thinking he was “great” on the
basis of his moral integrity, zeal, background and education.
Certainly, he was convinced of being right. Once the Lord
reveals himself, Saul “falls to the ground”, blinded. Suddenly, he
is unable to see, both physically and spiritually. His certainties
are shaken. In his heart, he realizes that his passionate zeal to
kill Christians was utterly wrong. He realizes that he does not
possess absolute truth, and is indeed far from it. His certainties
and his pride dissipate; suddenly he finds himself disoriented,
weak and “small”.
Such humility – the awareness of our limitations – is essential!
Those who are convinced that they know everything about
themselves, other persons and even religious truths, will find it
hard to encounter Christ. Saul, once blinded, lost his reference
points. Alone in darkness, the only clear things were the light he
saw and the voice he heard. How paradoxical! Only when we
are blinded, do we start to see!
After his overpowering experience on the road to Damascus,
Saul preferred to be called Paul, a name that means “small”.
This was not like those nicknames or made-up names so
common today. His encounter with Christ changed his life; it
made him feel truly small and tore down everything preventing
him from truly coming to know himself. As he tells us: “I became
the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I
persecuted the Church of God” (1 Cor 15:9).
------------------------------------------08------------------------------------------
Saint Therese of Lisieux, like so many other saints, loved to say
that humility is truth. Nowadays we fill up our time, especially on
social media, with any number of “stories”, often carefully
constructed with backdrops, web cameras and special effects.
Notes:
More and more, we want to be in the spotlight, perfectly framed, __________________________________________________________
ready to show our “friends” and “followers” an image of ourselves
that does not reflect who we really are. __________________________________________________________

Christ, the noonday sun, comes to enlighten us and to restore our __________________________________________________________
authenticity, freeing us from all our masks. He shows us clearly
__________________________________________________________
who we are, for that is exactly how he loves us.
__________________________________________________________
Changing perspective
__________________________________________________________
Paul’s conversion did not involve turning back, but being open to
a completely new way of seeing things. He continued on his __________________________________________________________
journey to Damascus, but something had changed; now he was a __________________________________________________________
different person (cf. Acts 22:10). Conversion can renew our
everyday lives. We continue to do what we did before, but our __________________________________________________________
hearts and motives are now changed. In the case of Paul, Jesus
told him to continue on to Damascus, where he had originally been __________________________________________________________
going. Paul obeyed, but the goal and purpose of his journey were
radically altered. From this point on, Paul will view things with new __________________________________________________________
eyes, no longer as a persecutor and executioner, but as a disciple __________________________________________________________
and a witness. In Damascus, Ananias will baptize him and present
him to the Christian community. In silence and prayer, Paul would __________________________________________________________
deepen his experience and the new identity bestowed on him by
the Lord Jesus. __________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
Do not dissipate the strength and passion of youth
__________________________________________________________
Paul’s attitude prior to his encounter with the risen Jesus is not so
strange for us. How much strength and passion also well up in your __________________________________________________________
own hearts, dear young people! Yet the darkness around and
inside you can prevent you from seeing things rightly. You can risk __________________________________________________________
finding yourselves lost in fighting meaningless and even violent __________________________________________________________
battles. Sadly, the first victims will be yourselves and those closest
to you. _________________________________________________________

There is also the danger of fighting for causes that begin by
upholding just values, but once carried to extremes, turn into
destructive ideologies. How many young people today inspired,
perhaps driven, by political or religious convictions, end up
becoming instruments of violence and destruction in the lives of
many others! Some, moving with ease in the digital world, use
virtual reality and social networks as a new battlefield,
unscrupulously employing the weapon of fake news to spread
venom and to wipe out their adversaries. When the Lord broke
into Paul’s life, he did not suppress his personality or passionate
zeal. Instead, he brought those gifts of his to full flower by
making him a great herald of the Gospel to the very ends of the
earth.
The apostle of the nations
Henceforth, Paul would be called the “apostle of the nations”.
Paul, who had been a Pharisee, a scrupulous follower of the
Law! Here we see yet another paradox: the Lord putting his trust
in the very one who had persecuted him. Like Paul, each of us
can hear a voice in our heart saying: “I trust you. I know your
story and I lay hold of it, together with you. Even if you have
often been against me, I choose you and make you my witness”.
God’s ways of thinking can turn the worst persecutor into a great
witness.
Christ’s disciples are called to be “the light of the world”
(Mt 5:14). Paul must now testify to what he saw, but for the time
being he is blind. Another paradox! Yet by virtue of his personal
experience, Paul can fully identify with those to whom the Lord
will send him. That was why he was made a witness: “to open
their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light”
(Acts 26:18).
“Arise and bear witness!”
When we embrace the new life bestowed on us in baptism, the
Lord gives us an important and life-changing mission: “You are
to be my witness!”
------------------------------------------10------------------------------------------
 Notes:
Today Christ speaks to you the same words that he spoke to
Paul: Arise! Do not remain downcast or caught up in yourself: a
mission awaits you! You too can testify to what Jesus has begun
to accomplish in your lives. In Jesus’ name, I ask you:

- Arise! Testify that you too were blind and encountered the light.
You too have seen God’s goodness and beauty in yourself, in
others and in the communion of the Church, where all loneliness
is overcome.
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________

- Arise! Testify to the love and respect it is possible to instil in __________________________________________________________

human relationships, in the lives of our families, in the dialogue
__________________________________________________________
between parents and children, between the young and the
elderly. __________________________________________________________

- Arise! Uphold social justice, truth and integrity, human rights. __________________________________________________________
Protect the persecuted, the poor and the vulnerable, those who
__________________________________________________________
have no voice in society, immigrants.
__________________________________________________________
- Arise! Testify to the new way of looking at things that enables
you to view creation with eyes brimming with wonder, that __________________________________________________________
makes you see the Earth as our common home, and gives you
__________________________________________________________
the courage to promote an integral ecology.
__________________________________________________________
- Arise! Testify that lives of failure can be rebuilt, that persons
spiritually dead can rise anew, that those in bondage can once __________________________________________________________
more be free, that hearts overwhelmed by sorrow can rediscover
__________________________________________________________
hope.
__________________________________________________________
- Arise! Testify joyfully that Christ is alive! Spread his message
of love and salvation among your contemporaries, at school and __________________________________________________________
in the university, at work, in the digital world, everywhere.
__________________________________________________________
The Lord, the Church and the Pope trust you and appoint you to __________________________________________________________
bear witness before all those other young people whom you will
encounter on today’s “roads to Damascus”. __________________________________________________________

Never forget that “anyone who has truly experienced God’s
saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go
out and proclaim that love. Every Christian is a missionary to
the extent that he or she has encountered the love of God in
Christ Jesus” (Evangelii Gaudium, 120).
Arise and celebrate WYD in the particular Churches!
Once again, I invite all of you, young people throughout the
world, to take part in this spiritual pilgrimage leading to the
celebration of the 2023 World Youth Day in Lisbon. The next
event, however, will take place in your particular Churches, in
the different dioceses and eparchies of the world, where the
2021 World Youth Day will be celebrated locally, on the
Solemnity of Christ the King.
I hope that all of us can experience these steps along the way
as true pilgrims, and not merely as “religious tourists”! May we
be increasingly open to God’s surprises, for he wants to light
up our path. May we be more and more open to hearing his
voice, also through the voices of our brothers and sisters. In
this way, we will help one another to arise together and, at this
troubled time in our history, we will become the prophets of a
new and hope-filled future! May the Blessed Virgin Mary
intercede for all of us.

 DAY 3: NOVEMBER 20, 2022
The Gospel does not tell us the
name of the young man whom
Jesus restored to life in Nain. This
invites each reader to identify with
him. To you, to me, to each one of
us, Jesus says: “Arise”. We are very
aware that, as Christians, we
constantly fall and have to get up
again. People who are not on a
journey never fall; then again,
neither do they move forward. That is
why we need to accept the help that
Jesus gives us and put our faith in God.
The first step is to let
ourselves get up and to realize that the new life Jesus offers us is
good and worth living. It is sustained by one who is ever at our side
along our journey to the future. Jesus helps us to live this life in a
dignified and meaningful way. This life is really a new creation, a
new birth, not just a form of psychological conditioning. Perhaps,
in times of difficulty, many of you have heard people repeat those
“magic” formulas so fashionable nowadays, formulas that are
supposed to take care of everything: “You have to believe in
yourself”, “You have to discover your inner resources”, “You have
to become conscious of your positive energy”… But these are mere
words; they do not work for someone who is truly “dead inside”.
Jesus’ word has a deeper resonance; it goes infinitely deeper. It is
a divine and creative word, which alone can bring the dead to life.

 OPENING MASS
November 18, 2022
Celebration of the Day: Mass for Various Needs: FOR A SPIRITUAL GATHERING
Readings:
Rev 10:8-11 “I took the small scroll and swallowed it.”
Ps 119:14. 24. 72. 103. 111. 131 “How sweet to my taste is your promise!”
Lk 7:11-17 “Young man, I tell you, Arise”
Prayers of the Faithful:
Jesus is God Incarnate who has come to earth to save mankind. His utmost priority
is to help the last, uplift the least, and search for the lost. Confident that we can
expect the same mercy and compassion shown by Jesus to the weeping
mother who lost her only son, we make our prayers to Him:
JESUS, RESTORE US TO LIFE
1. That the Church may continue to help young people today to
arise by empowering them to become life-givers through
participating in the pastoral works of the Church. Let us pray
to the Lord.
2. That leaders of our community may recognize the Spirit alive
in their midst and be moved in love to make room for the gifts
and the needs of the youth in our community. Let us pray to
the Lord.
3. That the families with adolescents may be blessed with joy,
strength, and peace to continue their important mission in the
home as signs of Christ’s love. Let us pray to the Lord.
4. That those youth who are experiencing sickness physically and
emotionally may draw closer to Jesus and may experience his
healing touch. Let us pray to the Lord.
5. That those who have died may be restored to life through the
merciful gaze of Jesus. Let us pray to the Lord.
We come before you, Father, in need of your healing hand. In you all
things are possible. Hold our hearts within yours, and renew our
mind, body, and soul. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
------------------------------------------17------------------------------------------
He who wants to gain this earnestness and keep it, must necessarily have
the resolve to always avoid especially the following venial sins:
1. The sin of giving entrance into your heart to any unreasonable
suspicions or unfair judgment against your neighbor.
2. The sin of introducing talk about another’s defects or offending
charity in any other way, even lightly.
3. The sin of omitting, out of laziness our spiritual practices or of
performing them with voluntary neglect.
4. The sin of having a disordered affection for somebody.
5. The sin of having a vain esteem for oneself, or of taking vain
satisfaction in things pertaining to us.
6. Impatience, resentment, any failure to accept disappointments as
coming from God’s Hand; for this put obstacles in the way of the
decrees and dispositions of Divine Providence concerning us.
7. The sin of giving ourselves an occasion that can even remotely
blemish a spotless condition of holy purity.
8. The fault of advertently hiding from those who ought to learn
them, one’s bad inclinations, weaknesses and mortifications,
seeking to pursue the road of virtue not under the direction of
obedience, but under the guidance of one’s own whims.
Notes: This speaks of times when we might have worthy direction if we seek it,
but we prefer to follow our own dim lights.
PRAYER FOR A GOOD CONFESSION
O my God, by my grievous sins I have crucified again Thy Divine
Son and made Him a mockery. For this, I have deserved Thy wrath and
made myself fit for the fires of hell. How ungrateful have I been to Thee
as well. My heavenly Father, Who created me out of nothing, redeemed
me by the precious Blood of Thy Son and sanctified me by Thy holy
sacraments and by the Holy Ghost. But Thou hast spared me by Thy
Mercy, to make this confession. Receive me back as Thy prodigal son and
grant me to confess well, that I may begin anew to love Thee with my
whole heart and soul, and henceforth to keep Thy commandments and
suffer patiently whatever temporal punishment may remain. I hope by
Thy goodness and power to obtain everlasting life in Paradise. Through
Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

 A DETAILED CATHOLIC EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE

I believe in a loving Savior Who forgives my sins and who gives me the
grace me the grace to become a saint. Jesus Christ, through the ministry
of His priests, does both in the Sacrament of Penance.

“As a Father hath sent Me, I also send you… Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins
you shall retain, they are retained.” (John 20:21-23)

“If your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow.” (Isaias
1:18)

“I have not come to call the just, but the sinners.” (Matt. 9:13)

“Men have received from God a power not granted to angels or

archangels. Never was it said to the heavenly spirits, ‘Whatsoever you
shall bind and unbind on earth shall be bound and unbound in heaven.’
The princes of this world can only bind and unbind the body. The power
of the priest extends further; it reaches the soul, and it is exercised not
only in baptizing, but still more pardoning sins. Let us not blush, then,
to confess our faults. He who blushes to discover his sins to a man, and
who will not confess, shall be covered with shame on Day of Judgment
in the presence of the whole universe.’’ (St. John Chrysostom, Treatise on
Priests, Bk. 3)

PRAYER BEFORE CONFESSION

O Lord, grant me light to see myself as Thou dost see me, and the grace
to be truly and effectively sorry for my sins. O Mary, help me to make a
good confession.

HOW TO CONFESS
First, examine your conscience well, then tell the priest the specific kind
of sins you have committed and, to the best of your ability, how many
RITE OF EUCHARISTIC EXPOSITION times you have committed them since your last good confession. You are
obliged to confess only mortal sins, since you can obtain forgiveness for
your venial sins by sacrifices and acts of charity. If you are in doubt about
AND BENEDICTION whether a sin is mortal or venial, mention your doubt to the confessor.
Remember also, confession of venial sins is very helpful for avoiding sin
and advancing toward heaven.
