Blessing
for Graduates –
Before
you were even formed, God knew you.
While in
your Mother's womb, God named you.
At your
birth, God's breathed life in you.
Today we
celebrate this special moment of time in your lives – your high school
graduation. Let us pray:
God of
our beginnings,
We thank
you for the gifts of these graduates;
for
their enthusiasm, for their awesome wonder and curiosity, for their dreams and
their passions.
The contributions
of these graduates have blessed and challenged us in our parish community here
in Tupelo. We have become a richer and
more diverse community because of them.
As they
step forward into the world that awaits them at this moment of their high
school graduation, we ask that you comfort their fears with the full knowledge
of your divine presence.
Strengthen
their resolve to walk in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ as they live as
modern-day disciples in a world that needs their spirit.
Guide
their feet as they move through life.
Protect
them from any pitfalls and struggle as the walk as children of the light.
We ask
this blessing upon each of these young people as we celebrate their high school
graduation with them and their families, in the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.
