Loving God,

We come before you today and thank you for your many blessings in our lives and in particular for the blessing of wisdom. Lord, we lift up the intentions for all who are entering the early stages of adulthood, that they may find their way in the world and be led by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit to find the vocation and the calling you have prepared especially for each one. Lord, the challenges for young adults are enormous in this day and the competition for their attention and their time is fierce. Please help each one of these young people to find their calling in whatever future plan you have for their life, be it college, work, the religious life, Peace Corps, or many other possibilities. Please also help each one to keep a firm foundation in their lives through prayer and love for your people, and through love of You, O Lord. Please comfort and bless all who care for, provide for, and lead these young people during these formative times, that we might speak and share Your words and Your plans in the way You would have us do for each of these young people.

I pray especially for my oldest son today, dear Lord.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, empowered by your Holy Spirit, who lives and reigns with You, now and forever.

Amen.

Prayer for Graduates

LIGHT
Lord Jesus, you have said that your followers must be the light to the world*.
Light propagates itself, dispels darkness.
It sows rays of joy and hope. It is life*giving.
Help those who are to graduate this day, Lord, to be a light to this world,
so that their life radiates your message of love, hope, and joy.
May they be the beacon leading to You those who seek truth.
SALT
You also said, Lord Jesus,
that your disciples must be the salt to this earth.
Salt gives taste to food.
It retards spoilage.
It is also a healing agent.
Lord, may they be the salt
that takes away the blandness in the routine of living,
that prevents the rottenness of hatred and greed from expanding around them,
that brings compassionate healing to anguished souls they encounter.
Lord, help them to be “worth their salt.”
And infuse your “saltiness” in them, so that they do not become “flat” and useless.
LEAVEN
“Be the leaven to the world,” said You to your friends.
Bread, a staple of life, and cakes, always present at celebrations,
would be dull and lifeless without the tiny bit of yeast.
Without it, the dough remains inert, hard.
Elsewhere, You also told us to multiply our talents.
You thus expect that we use the talents you gave us as the leaven to this world.
Teach them, Lord Jesus, that alone they are insignificant,
but mixed with the talents of their brothers and sisters,
They can lift this world out of its insipid mediocrity.
May they be a bit of leaven in the Bread of Life,
and a sign of Your celebration in this life and life eternal.
COMMITMENT
Lord, on this “commencement” day,
let there be a beginning of their life.
In the days of darkness, be their Light,
so that in turn they can radiate your truth and your message of love, hope, and joy.
In the days of blandness and of blahs,
Lord, be their Salt, so that in turn they can fend off the corruption,
the staleness, the mediocrity around them.
In the days when they are flat on their back or fall flat on their face,
Lord, be their Leaven, so that not only can they rise again,
but also raise the downhearted to the celebration of your Love.
And Lord, thank You, for the school years, for the talents they received.

Amen.
