Opening Prayer

Let’s feel the presence of the holy spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ.

GRACIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER, WE COME TO YOU ON THIS DAY WITH OUR HEARTS LIFTED TO YOU. ON
THIS CAMPUS, ON THIS QUAD, WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU HAVE LOVED US.

LORD, ON BEHALF OF MY CLASSMATES, I ASK YOU TO ELECTRIFY THIS SACRAMENTAL RITE OF PASSAGE
AS WE GRADUATE FROM TESDA ISAT AND COMMENCE THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

WE ASK THAT YOU ENERGIZE THIS CELEBRATION SO THAT EACH OF US FEELS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS
IMPORTANT MILOSTONE.

LORD, WE STAND HERE TODAY FILLED WITH GRATITUDE. WE ARE GARTEFUL FOR THE CONTANT
SUPPORT AND LOVE OF OUR FAMILIES.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE LIFELONG FRIEDSHIPS WE HAVE FORMED AND THAT HAVE FORMED US.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE TARINORS, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATORS WHO HAVE CHALLENGED AND
INSPIRED US TO LEARN, TO LOVE, AND TO SERVE. A SIPMPLE “THANK YOU” JUST DOESN’T SEEM TO
ADEQUATELY EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE.

YOU CREATE LIFE FROM THE EARTH ON WHICH WE DWELL AND BREATH INTO ITS NEW LIFE AND
MEANING. GRACIOUS YOU EMPOWERED US WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO AID ONE ANOTHER AS
WE LIVE OUT OF LIVES IN THIS EARTH. BLESS OUR GATHERING THIS AFTERNOON AS WE RECALL YOUR
GRACE AND KINDNESS TO OUR LIVES AND CELEBRATE THE ENDING AND BEGINNINGS OF THE
OPPURTUNITIES YOU PROVIDE.

EMPOWER US ALL TO LIVE LIVES WORTHY OF THE CALLINGS YOU OFFER, THAT WE MAY STRENGTHEN
WITH YOU THROUGH THIS LIFE.

IN CHRITS JESUS NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.
