INTRODUCTION
We celebrate today a new beginning. On this special occasion
we offer to God the gift of ourselves as we cherish the joys and expec-
tations of the present moments.
Let us then look back and reminisce the toils and travails of
times past. Let us not forget our parents, mentors, and other persons
whose passion, dedication, and guidance have molded us to become
gifted individuals as well as faithful citizens of the kingdom.
As we commence our journey to build a better world, let us
remember the cherished tradition of our beloved Alma Mater: Christ-
centeredness, charity, commission, community, and charism. Let us
live out spirituality and excellence and touch lives for Christ.
How good it is to celebrate this moment of joy and this season
of grace. Blessed indeed is the God of life and love!
Let us all rise and sing the Entrance Hymn.

I hear the whisperings of many:
"Terror on every side! RECESSIONAL
Denounce! let us denounce him!"
All those who were my friends
are on the watch for any misstep of mine.
"Perhaps he will be trapped; then we can prevail,
and take our vengeance on him."
But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion:
my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph.
In their failure they will be put to utter shame,
to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
O LORD of hosts, you who test the just,
who probe mind and heart,
Let me witness the vengeance you take on them,

from materialism, unjust structures, and apathy
through EDUCATION and Care of the SICK. The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus.
Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works
Thus, if life seems rough and the way is dark, from my Father.
I will remember this goal For which of these are you trying to stone me?"
to proclaim Christ at all times like Mary and Paul The Jews answered him,
for I believe what Jesus says: "We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy.
"I am with you till the end of time" You, a man, are making yourself God."
Jesus answered them,
"Is it not written in your law, 'I said, 'You are gods?'"
20 5
 If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came,
and Scripture cannot be set aside,
can you say that the one
whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world
blasphemes because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'
If I do not perform my Father's works, do not believe me;
but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me,
believe the works, so that you may realize and understand
that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
Then they tried again to arrest him;
but he escaped from their power.
He went back across the Jordan
to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained.
Many came to him and said,
"John performed no sign,
but everything John said about this man was true."
And many there began to believe in him.

All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

God has chosen you to be witnesses before the entire
world to His suffering, death and resurrection. Your
way of life should, at all times, reflect the goodness of
Christ.
Now, take the road of life again, and live in accordance
with your sublime vocation. With Gods grace, and in
the presence of your mentors, parents and friends,
you will promise fidelity to your calling. Therefore, I
ask you:
Do you promise to live for Jesus Christ who died that
you may all live?
Graduates: I do promise.
Presider: Do you promise to keep your Catholic faith burning in
your heart, to profess it steadfastly and to live it faith-
fully in the midst of this faithless and materialistic
world?

Presider: Do you promise to live up to your baptismal commit-
ment to Christ, to give your life completely in the ser-
vice of all as Christ did, who came not to be served but
to serve?
Graduates: I do promise.
Presider: May the Lord look with favor on the promises you
have just made. May He give you the grace needed to
hold firm, and through your promises, may He find you
blameless at the end of time and take you to his home
in heaven, through Jesus name.
People: Amen

Him to heed our petitions, as we say:
LORD, IN YOUR GREAT LOVE, HEAR US!

mitment to Mission, Community and Christ-centeredness.

St. Paul and serve the Lord, the Church, and our country with
integrity. Let us pray to the Lord.

God's love and presence, that mothers may become constant
source of love for their families and that fathers may remain

THANKSGIVING PRAYER OF THE GRADUATES
Principal: My dear Michaelinians, the Lord has given you
knowledge of faith through the intercession and
example of St. Michael and St. Paul. May their ex-
ample inspire you to lead others to Christ by the
manner of your life. I shall now give you a lighted
candle. It is a sign of Jesus light, the gift of His
Spirit dwelling in you. Let Christs light and love
shine through as you continue to do the mission
He entrusted to you.
The principal lights her candle and the graduating class also lights their
individual candles as the following hymn is sung:
BLESSING OF ST. PAUL
May the God of Peace make you perfect and holy.
May you all be kept safe and blameless
Until the day Jesus comes again;
Until the day Jesus comes again.
Till then, we bid you Godspeed.
May Gods love enfold you.
Put your trust in Him for he cares for you.
The god who called you will not fail you.
Till we meet again, God keep you in His love.
Graduates: O God, today, we thank You sincerely and humbly
for the many blessings you have showered on us:
Our parents who always stand by us to comfort us,
to guide us, to teach us, to love us.
The Sisters and our teachers who have taught us
to think with our mind and heart and who have
watched our growth, guided and formed our ideals
and principles and who were not only mentors but
friends.
Our classmates and our friends who have warmed
our hearts with kindness who have constantly be-
lieved in us, Who have brought out the best in us.

I am the key to free you. (CHO)
POUR UNTO ME
V1: I knew a thirst from deep within;
Like a barren land longing for a rain
I sought refreshment far and near;
Yet not a drop I ever found.
V2: But you knew the thirst I felt within
In your love you found me then
You offered me water that gushes forth
That I may never thirst again.
Chorus: Pour unto me my Lord
Buckets of water from your well
Wet this parched and lifeless land
And let life spring a new.
V3: As the drenched soil nourishes life
So my soul comes back to life
Let me inspire others as you did
That we may praise you the giver of life. (Chorus)
Commentator: Please stand.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION

May the unfailing protection of the sacrifice we have
received never leave us, O Lord, and may it always
drive far from us all that would do us harm. Through
Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.

6. For all the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres, especially those in
Saint Michael College: that through the intercession of Mary
our Mother, Saint Michael and St. Paul, they may be witnesses
to the values they teach as they inspire the students to be

but also in the society beyond them. Let us pray to the Lord.
7. For the poor and the marginalized: that they may be filled with
love, courage and hope so that they may see the light of Christ
in their darkest days. Let us pray to the Lord.

claim Jesus Christ in our daily lives through acts of mercy to-
wards others. Let us pray to the Lord.

You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness. Make holy,
therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them
like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body and + Blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, say-
ing: TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY,
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and,
once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying: TAKE THIS,
ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT, FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY
BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT, WHICH
WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FOR-
GIVENESS OF SINS. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.

giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and
minister to you. Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and Blood
of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring

her to the fullness of charity, together with Francis our Pope and Ne-
reo our Bishop, and all the clergy.
Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the
hope of the resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy: wel-
come them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray,
that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with the blessed
Apostles, and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages,
we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life, and may praise and glorify
you through your Son, Jesus Christ.
