Prayers for Graduation and Graduates

Prayer Of Blessing For Christian Graduate Students

Good and loving God-We thank you for the completion of another academic year, and for giving us the opportunity,short though it may have been, to play a part in the lives of our students and our new

graduates. 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 “women and men for

others.” May what we have learned from them enable us to be the same.

Please help them to use all that they have learned here to make the world a better place – to serve others in true solidarity and kinship – to seek ways to help the poor, the marginalized,

and those who are suffering – and to always seek the greater good.

We know that some of them will experience pain and hardship, and we know that some of
them already have, and we ask you to grant them solace and strength.

Finally, Father, we thank you for giving us the opportunity to build our community with theseyoung men and women while they are here. Though they are leaving our campus, we knowthat they will always be with us as part of the Xavier family, and we ask that the bonds that

have been created here remain strong despite any distance.

We ask all of this in your name, and in the name of your Son.

Amen.

A Benediction For Graduate Students

Gracious and caring God, our source of light,
we ask for your almighty hand to be upon these graduates as we send them forward.

With their classes and grading now complete, may they strive toward excellence in all they do. With the applause quieted, may they celebrate and lift up those around them. with the speeches concluded, may their voices rise up to pronounce peace and justice in the world.

with the fanfare ceasing, may they find bliss in future endeavors and adventures. with advanced degrees and credentials in hand, may their achievements grow and enrich their communities. As Jesuit educated, may they discover Holiness in the midst of life's blessings as well life's challenges.

As their careers commence,

may they conduct their life's work with exceptional skill and integrity inspired to Go Forth and Set the World of Fire

from this day onward.

Grace be to them.

Deeper Waters

Fr. Ronald Rolheiser in his book on prayer writes the following words:

There is a beautiful text in the Gospels that captures, in stark metaphor, our need for prayer. One morning, after Simon Peter, James, and John have “toiled all night” and caught nothing – no fish, only their own emptiness – Jesus comes to them and invites them to go out to the deeper waters, to “put out into the deep.” They do, and they catch so many fish their boat begins to sink.

Years ago, each of you accepted an invitation to put out into the deep. In your chosen field or profession, you chose to explore deeper waters in search of more – more knowledge, sharper skills, deeper understanding.

Our Jesuit way of proceeding, our Xavier Way, frames an understanding of this encounter with the Divine in the depths. We see God in all things. Your explorations necessarily showed you a facet of God's love for his creation. And your relationship deepened, as a result.

Thus, our celebration here today represents the culmination your years-long prayer. This benediction, then, simply serves as a communal capstone to the prayer that you have prayed through your many labors.

In the faith tradition that speaks best to you, I invite you now to bow your head in prayer:

Creator of all that is

Bless and approve our offering here today,

The degrees that we've earned as proof of our deep questing,

The fruits of our long academic, physical, and spiritual labors.

In the days, months, and years ahead,

Grant that we may come to know more clearly

The purpose that our labors, our learning, our degrees

Will play in your divine plan,

To your greater glory.

And may our boats be filled to overflowing.

In your name we pray,

Amen.

– Dr. Steven Herbert, offered at Xavier University Commencement 2017

A Graduate's Prayer

Dear Lord, As I look toward the future Bright hope conducts this prayer, For I know the plans You have for me Were wrought with divine care. Holy Spirit, lead me. Let me run at Your command, Yet be still and know that You are God When trouble is close at hand. Your Word will be a lamp for me, A guide to light my way, A solid place to set my feet,

A compass when I stray.

May I live my life to praise You, Not for fortune, nor for fame, May everything I say and do

Bring glory to Your name.

May my eyes stay fixed upon You As I seek the way that's pure, Tasting Your love and goodness

Sleeping and rising secure.

Planted by Your living streams I'll delight in all Your ways, Hidden by Your sheltering wings
With new mercies for each day.

Even in a dangerous land When storms threaten to destroy, At the cross I'll stand upon the Rock

My Strength, my Hope, my Joy.

Dear Lord, show me Your favor, At all times keep me blessed, May Your face ever shine upon me,

With peace and perfect rest.

A Commencement Benediction

Gracious and Loving God,

We ask, now, for your almighty hand to be upon our graduates as they and their families celebrate this grand milestone.

May they find comfort from our community's continued embrace and support as they journey through life.

May they find strength in the excellence of their academic preparation and the long line of the Jesuit educational tradition – for with it, today, they join a nearly 500 year old network of local, national and global alumni who are their kindred companions.

Bless their lives from this day on with goodness and success.

Enable them

– to stay true to their dreams for your greater glory,

– to discern what is right, good and just, and

– to use their gifts wisely and in service to others.

Empower them to walk into the future with faith, hope, and great love guided by your light so that they may use their talents to, in the words of St. Ignatius Loyola, “Go forth and set the world on fire.” Grace be to them, grace be to us all.

Amen.

A Graduation Prayer

“God, today is any other. The sun rises. The winds blow. Rain falls. Rain does not fall. People are born. They laugh. They cry. They dance. They die. Today “chronos” time is as it has been since You gave it beginning, and will be as it is until you bring things to an end. Today is any other.

Today is also fresh and new, and no other day. Today is a “kairos” moment of opportunity that has come and will pass in a moment. Today is a passage from one epoch to another. Today is a gift from you. Grant grace to see it and seize it.

Today is a graduation, a passage, a completion, an inauguration. Today we pray for all those who have met the challenge and kept the faith to the commitments of their studies. Now they have a new “kairos” before them. We first offer thanks for the success of their journey.

We thank for you granting them focus and direction and then strength and endurance. You created the knowledge and understanding they have mastered. You have created the curiosity and capacity for determination that led them in pursuit. All these good things came from you.

Thank you.

Today we also pray for tomorrow. This graduation opens another door to another time. As you have led in the past, lead now into the future. Give them focus and clarity and a calling from you to understand their purpose and the courage to respond and step toward that purpose.

We pray in the words of scripture: 'Bless them indeed. Expand their territory. Let your hand be with them. Keep them evil, that they will not cause or experience pain.'

Today, we bless our graduates”

– Mark Herringshaw

In Gratitude, We Pray

God of joy and hope, We thank you for this time of graduation.

Your spirit of wisdom has empowered our hard work and discipline in such a way that our hunger for learning has been nourished with knowledge, discovery, creativity, and determination.

As we prepare to walk across the stage to receive our diplomas, let us walk in prayerful gratitude for the many blessings that have made this moment real and filled with great potential.

In gratitude, we pray for our families and the many who have sacrificed and worked to see us to this hopeful moment.
In gratitude, we pray for the professors and administrators who have challenged, cared, and crafted us along this academic journey.
In gratitude, we pray for fellow students who have taught us more about friendship, collaboration, and sharing.

God, even as we have faced challenges and accomplished much, we understand that our lives move into a new chapter where there will be more challenges to face and more will be demanded of us in order to accomplish good things. May your grace cover our anxieties and fears so that we may stay encouraged about the future.

Give us patience and hope to energize our search for work that is just and makes proper use of our gifts.
Give us courage to face the challenges of carving out a place in society where we might live in peace, service, and gratitude.
Give us strength to resist the temptations of greed, laziness, pride, and envy as we strive to do and be our best.

May your spirit guide us as we unfold the next chapters of our lives. Help us to enliven hope in the world and bring good things to Your Kingdom. And, may this celebration be a reflection of the blessings that we find in knowing and loving you. For this is the day that You have made.
We are glad and rejoice in it!

Prayer Of Blessing For Christian Graduate Students

Prayer of blessings should be an integral part of everyone seeking to prosper in this evil world. Why? Because it is the desire of God to bless his children and not just to bless them but to also make them a channel of blessing unto others (Genesis 12:2). Blessing is the opposite of curse.

While God desires to bless his children, the enemy secretly pronounce curse upon them to bring them down. That is why some Christians find it difficult to move forward in spite of every effort to do so. Without the blessings of God we Christians cannot really do much.

The scripture says

“The blessing of the LORD makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22 ESV)

There are many people who have gone astray today while searching for blessings and prosperity; some have gone to satanic kingdom to seek blessings and prosperity. Satanic blessings in real sense are not blessings but a curse in disguise even though the receiver is rich in this physical world.

The true blessing is the one that come from the Lord because it comes without sorrow. That is the type of blessing that this prayer is centred on – the blessing of the Lord. It is important for children of God to pray this kind of prayer whenever it seems the blessings of God is not manifesting as proclaimed in the scripture.

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 28:1-12, 1Chronicle 4:9-10.

Praise, Worship and Thanksgiving

Sing some choruses unto the Lord if you can, if not go ahead and give thanks to God.

  • Thank you Father for being the source of my blessings.
  • Thank you Lord for being the one that makes people poor and makes people rich (1Samuel 2:7).

  • Thank you Lord for your blessings upon my life.
  • Thank you Father for all you have done in my life and in the life of others around me.
  • Thank you Jesus for your name.
  • Thank you Lord for dying for me on the cross. Thank you Jesus.

QUESTION: Prayer for Graduating Students

ANSWER:

As graduation season approaches, we need to intensify our prayers for graduating students. Consider the following prayer suggestions:

  • Pray for clear direction and wisdom regarding the future.
  • Most students will be experiencing adult freedoms for the first time, which create new challenges. The world will bombard them with liberties that may have been taboo for them a short time ago. Pray for them to handle temptations.
  • The students who go directly into the job market will have to assimilate into workplace environments that will include people of all ages and backgrounds. They may come in contact with unethical business practices, crude and vulgar language, or other less obvious behaviors. Pray for them to stand firm in their beliefs.
  • New responsibilities will create new burdens for them financially and socially. They may have to pay for insurance, travel expenses, continuing education expenses, clothing, etc. Pray for God to meet their financial needs.
  • Pray for those who will be continuing their education. Pray they will take their education seriously and learn skills that will be helpful later in life.

Prayer for Graduating Students – An Example “Father God, we thank you for these graduating students. We pray that you will give them direction, purpose, and perseverance as they enter the next phrase of their lives.

Give them clearness of mind to move forward into the plans and purposes that You have for them. May these young people gain wisdom from You and have discernment for proper behavior. Raise up Christian mentors for these graduates so they have someone who holds them accountable for their actions.

You owe it to yourselfTo make your days count.Have fun.  Dig deep. Stretch. Dream big.

Know, though,That things worth doingSeldom come easy,There will be times when you want toTurn aroundPack it up and call it quitsThose times tell youThat you are pushing yourselfAnd that you are not afraid to learn by trying. Persist. Because with an idea,Determination and the right tools,You can do great things.

Let your instincts, your intellectAnd let your heart guide you. Trust. Believe in the incredible powerOf the human mindOf doing something that makes a differenceOf working hard Of laughing and hopingOf lasting friendsOf all the things that will cross your path Next year The start of something newBrings the hope of something great.

Anything is possibleThere is only one youAnd you will pass this way but once.

Do it right.

Graduation Poem, Dare to Believe

Everybody Knows:You can't be all things to all people.You can't do all things at once.You can't do all things equally well.You can't do all things better than everyone else.Your humanity is showing just everyone else's. So: You have to find out who you are, and be that.You have to decide what comes first, and do that.

You have to discover your strengths, and use them.You have to learn not to compete with others,Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*. Then: You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.You will have learned to live with your limitations.

You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.And you'll be a most vital mortal. Dare To Believe:That you are a wonderful, unique person.That you are a once-in-all-history event.That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.

And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.

Graduation Poem, Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable Be frank and honest anyway.

People favor underdogs but will follow only top dogs. Fight for some underdogs anyway. People may need help, but may attack you if you help them. Help people anyway. What you spend your years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you have anyway.

Be True To You

As you set out on life’s roadunsure of the path you’ll go,the most important thing you can dois to always be true to “you” Always remember who you arein moments of struggle or fear.

Never forget or give up onthe hopes and dreams you hold dear There will be setbacks and rejectionand moments of failure too,but you must overcome any frustrationto achieve the potential of you. Don’t forget to smile, or laugh,or to live in the present;no matter where life takes youmake every memory pleasant.

As you travel along your journey,know that you’re never aloneand I’ll always be here for you

should you need the comfort of home.

On Your Graduation Day

In your life there will be many a milestoneOn which you will look back when the years have flown.And of all those major moments, I think it's fair to sayThat one of the most special is your Graduation Day.

As one era ends, you watch a new one start;An adventure in which you are about to take part.Let courage and joy conquer any fear or doubt;Let hope light the path on which you're setting out.

At those times when you need guidance, as all of us do,Look to family and friends, always there to counsel you.And if a choice does not turn out quite as you planned,Never be ashamed to seek a helping hand.

Despite the challenges with which your journey may be fraught,Stay true to yourself and the values you've been taught.And be mindful that no matter the things you may possess,The good you do for others is the true gauge of success.

Congratulations!

Let No One Steal Your Dreams

Let no one steal your dreamsLet no one tear apartThe burning of ambitionThat fires the drive inside your heart. Let no one steal your dreamsLet no one tell you that you can'tLet no one hold you backLet no one tell you that you won't.

Set your sights and keep them fixedSet your sights on highLet no one steal your dreamsYour only limit is the sky. Let no one steal your dreamsFollow your heartFollow your soulFor only when you follow themWill you truly feel whole.

Set your sights and keep them fixedSet your sights on highLet no one steal your dreamsYour only limit is the sky.

~ Paul Cookson
