We begin this week with Memorial Day, a holiday in the United States when we take the time to honor and mourn the military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. For the remainder of the week, we celebrate our graduating seniors, who will be moving on; soon to begin their college education in the Fall. We wish them God Speed.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Good and loving God, we thank you for the completion of another academic year, and for giving us the opportunity, to play a part in the lives of our students. We are grateful for your guidance and love as we shared in this important work. Please bless and guide our graduates as they reach this end, and as they chart new beginnings. May what they have learned by being here with us allow them to truly be men for others. May what we have learned from them enable us to be the same.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
