Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter (Baccalaureate Mass)
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God." - Isaiah 41:10
Seniors, as you face life beyond this campus community, the biggest challenge you now face amazingly is not what you are going to do next, as important as that is, but more deeply, how you are going to live your life. How will your discipleship affect the way you live, and listen, and actively support others? How will you serve others honestly and selflessly? How will you stand up for justice, human rights, and care for our common home, the earth? How will you reflect peace and reconciliation in society and become a blessing for others through your presence and compassion?
As you leave the campus, remember that it is not what you've done here, but who you become out in the world and how you exercise your Christian responsibilities in the future towards your neighbor and the world. United with Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit, may your future actions serve our world. May Jesus walk with you in all that is to come, and may the Holy Spirit bless you with wisdom and generosity.
