A Simple Prayer for Youth
Lord…
You were young once too…
so you know how it feels to be a young person.
Especially in today’s world…
the choices we have to make…
the temptations we have to face…
the people we meet…
help us always to be aware
of your presence in my life…
Give me strength to always be close to you
and to offer each day of my life
as a young person for your greater glory…
… Amen

ASAYO Today
We’ve continued in our work of facilitating the involvement of young people and single adults in the life of the Church.
We achieve this goal by supporting, challenging, forming, and especially listening to those involved in parish youth work
We recognise the charism of gift in our lives both individually and as a team, and respond to the call of Christ to go out and help build His community
Our Mission Statement
We, the young people of the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur
journeying towards the year 2000 are prepared to commit
and form ourselves as one united family
to create a sense of belonging; to actively support,
encourage and participate in the Church’s vision
through listening, sharing and living the Word of God.
In line with the above,
we at ASAYO, are convinced of the need to
focus on the following in all our formation for the next 5 years Discernment
help our young adults/youth make choices base on serious thinking,
prayer, silence, scripture and counselling in order to discover
what God desires for their lives. Faith -journey
help our young adults/youth be aware of their call
by God to be Catholic and to understand clearly
the requirements of their faith;
what we believe (Apostles Creed)
what we celebrate (the Sacraments)
what we live (Commandments)
what we pray (Our Father) Significance of the Cross
help our young/youth to face the reality
of the cross in their daily lives,
and learn to accept them as a means of growth especially:
accepting corrections and making a change
self-discipline in choice of entertainment
self-denial in relationship to family and BEC’s
doing with less material comforts Relationship
help out young adults/youth to understand
and build supportive relationship
as opposed to power-struggle relationship
at interpersonal, family and community levels,
especially through:
constructive criticism
resolution of conflict in an acceptable way
respect for the dignity of self and each other
forgiveness and reconciliation
