A Prayer for Graduates

God of journeys, endings, and new beginnings, through the highs and lows, the twists and turns  this class has faced along the way, we have faith that your love has guided them from the moment they began up to graduation day.  We give you thanks and praise for the goodness that shines in the relationships formed, knowledge learned, and memories made through this school. Bless the body, mind, and soul of every graduate,  that they may celebrate your glory in themselves and all creation, and use their education to build your kingdom of peace.

Amen.

The Rev. Timothy J.S. Seamans, Associate Chaplain, The Episcopal School of Los Angeles
