16th August, 2009. Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

As many young people set out on new paths in the coming weeks,
perhaps the words of this song may express our wishes and prayers:

FOREVER YOUNG
May God bless and keep you always,
may your wishes all come true,
may you always do for others
and let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
and climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,

May you grow up to be righteous,
may you grow up to be true,
may you always know the truth
and see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young.
(Bob Dylan)
