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
