Faculty and Staff Blessing of the Graduates
Grateful for the blessing of our years together, and with great hope in the future open before you, we ask God our Father to bless you.
Together we have shared life and lived life; we have grown and loved.
Together we have learned that sharing is the greatest form of learning. And love of others is wisdom itself.
You always have our support and encouragement.
Take with you your great gifts – your youth and vitality, your kindness and decency, your humor and great zest for life. Give them to all you meet.
Color your life with – A zest for Christian living. A commitment to goals that are noble and true. A fortitude to accept the challenge of life. A humility that says, “God, I need you.” A love expressed wholesomely in deed and truth.
We pray that you always walk in the friendship of Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit, today and all days until eternity.
Amen.
