High School Benediction
Thank you, Lord, for educating us beyond our books and our classrooms.
Thank you, Lord, for all the unfairness we have experienced
for it has taught us the importance of Your Justice.
Thank you, Lord, for all the difficult times, for the pain and the suffering
for it has taught us to love freely, by choice, when it is not easy, just like You
or, perhaps,
has more taught us how infrequently we choose to love freely, when it is not easy, unlike You.
Yes, our failures in You are not to condemn us but rather to show us our learning potential -
how far we can go by Your Grace.
And thank you, Lord, for all the fun and thrilling moments
for they give us a foretaste of the Eternal Joy into which you invite us
once we have learned the lessons of Justice and Love.
Bless us, please, Lord, that we may never stop learning Your Justice and Your Love
and may one day join you in Your Eternal Joy.
