3. closing prayer for the 2022 student awards ceremony
Before we begin, let’s sit together in silence. The semester is always so busy and stressful—more so now, against a backdrop of war and disease. Let’s take a moment to share silence with one another before we give thanks to God and ask for His blessings.
[a moment of silence]
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Loving God,
thank you for the gift of this community—
faculty, staff, sisters, and students—
their kindness and welcome,
their hard work in the service of others.
As we leave here today,
with the rush and noise of the school year behind us,
help us find You in moments of stillness
and in all things:
in the smell of lilacs,
the forsythia blooming,
a blackbird’s trill,
the sun shining on the damp grass.
Let us join in Your love,
and let our hearts be songs.
May we go forth today
to love and serve You
and one another.
Amen.
