H OMILY
P ROFESSION OF F AITH
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin
Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
P RAYERS OF THE F AITHFUL
Response: Lord, hear our prayer.
SIT
STAND
Nicene Creed
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and
I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and
the life of the world to come.
Amen.

The Service of Light

The light of Christ, bestowed on us at our Baptism and carried with us throughout our lives,
reminds us that we are commissioned to dispel the darkness and bring light into the world.
We are confident that with God as our light, all doubt, all fear, and all uncertainty is driven out.

We entrust this candle to each member of the Class of 2016

as we send him out to spread God’s love, and live in the light.

P ROCESSION OF L IGHT May the Road Rise to Meet You

Lori True (b.1951)

P RAYER FOR G ENEROSITY St. Ignatius of Loyola

Dear Lord,
Teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve.
To give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
Amen.
