Prayer for Graduates of Educational Institutions

God, our Best Father, in the Mystery of Baptism and Chrismation You have made them Your children, and in the Mystery of Repentance You have turned them to Yourself and formed their characters. You have allowed them to draw strength and inspiration from the Holy Liturgy and through the Mystery of the Eucharist and the knowledge of Your Holy Word have called them to take responsibility for the works of the Kingdom of God. For all this we thank You, Lord.

We also ask You for the youth who today finish their studies and begin a new stage of their lives, that our children—by the help and illumination of the Holy Spirit—may ever more bravely overcome the devil's traps and inclinations toward evil. Hear, O Lord, our petitions and strengthen, by Your blessing, the good will of the young and the care of their parents for them, for You live and reign in the Holy Trinity forever and ever. Amen.
