A Blessing for Graduates –

Eternal God,
in you we live, and move, and have our being.
In your will we find our purpose,
and in your wisdom we find our joy.

Bless our graduates who are completing high school
and now begin a new part of their lives.

Let them not be worried about the past
Nor anxious about the future,
but let them feel your presence with them in the present.

Strengthen their faith and ease their fears
that they may courageously follow your Spirit
and live fully their vocation the life you give them.

When they feel doubt and confusion about their purpose,
light their way and give them peace in your plan for them.
Let them use the gifts they have received in their studies
that they may become a source of inspiration
and blessing for the world.

And when each day is ended, give them delight in knowing that the good work you have begun in them
shall come to completion in you.

May Almighty God bless you graduates – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - Amen.
