The popular yet doomed Catalan youth group, the Pomells de Joventut de Catalunya, which existed between 1920 and 1923, introduced a generation of young readers to a vibrant range of Catalan-language texts, many of which were of a religious and nationalist nature. Despite the rich material left behind by the Pomells, the intentions and potentials of their devotional prayers and acts of worship have not been thoroughly analysed. By mobilising the concept of “worldmaking” and applying this to the prayers and texts of the Pomells, the desires and concerns of these young Catalans are laid bare. Drawing on a variety of sources, this article reveals that the Pomells, despite their age, were actively engaged in a number of debates from their time via their prayers in Catalan and that their devotional practice was innovative and transgressive in its own way. However, these interventions by Catalan youth would awaken hopes and stir up fears within different wings of the Catholic Church in Catalonia.
