Here’s
a graduation litany from Episcopal Life
Weekly.
Graduation Litany
We
are gathered together
to
celebrate the accomplishments of members of our community.
We give blessings to
you for all that you have achieved
and many more
achievements yet to come.
One
part of your life’s journey is complete.
You
will prepare to begin another phase
that
will take you to unimaginable places.
As
you prepare for your next journey,
we
hope that you remember the ones you leave behind,
who
have loved and supported you throughout the years.
We give you blessings
of good will and love
as you journey forth
into the world.
We thank you for the
laughter and fellowship
that you have shared
with us
and pray that as you
begin your next journey,
remember the times
that we all have shared with you.
Use
those memories as a beacon to guide you on your path.
Don’t
look back; continue only forward,
while
using those memories to create a new path.
We pray that God will
give you strength and determination
to develop new
relationships that will help to strengthen
and sustain your
faith.
Because
we are made in the image of God
we
have been blessed with free will to make choices and decisions.
We pray that you make
wise and rational decisions,
always turning to God
for help.
God hears, God
listens, God is always with you.
Do not forget that.
Always keep in mind
that God is around
and if you turn to
him, he will guide you.
