A Prayer for the Class of 2025

Dear God,

As we gather today to celebrate our final time together as the DSHA Class of 2025, we thank You for walking with us every step of the way as we prepare to continue on our own paths. Thank You for being present in both our failures and achievements.

Thank You for the gift of our time spent at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School — a place where we not only learned and grew, but also formed our faith. In classrooms, in conversations, in quiet chapel moments, and in the laughter we shared, You were with us.

We are grateful for the beautiful diversity of our class, for our different backgrounds, perspectives, and stories that have shaped us and helped us see the world more fully. Through each other, we’ve learned what it truly means to listen, to lead, and to love. Though we are many, we are one body, united by the mission, sisterhood, and spirit of DSHA. In one another, we have found strength, joy, and belonging.

We thank You for our teachers and mentors, who guided us with wisdom and patience. And we give special thanks for our parents and families for the countless rides, the words of encouragement, the prayers whispered on our behalf, and the unwavering support they gave us through every challenge and triumph. Their love has been the foundation beneath our feet.

As we step forward into this new chapter, help us practice the values and qualities that DSHA has instilled in us.

Help us to be leaders who serve with humility, inspire with courage, and uplift those around us. Help us to be women of faith, rooted in You and unafraid to live our beliefs. Help us to be strong communicators—clear, compassionate, and honest. Help us to be self-advocates, knowing our worth and standing firm in our convictions. Help us to be critical thinkers, ready to engage with the world thoughtfully and with purpose.

Let us live boldly and lovingly, always striving to serve others and create a more just world. May we be a light in every place we go, always remembering who we are.

Bless our journey ahead, Lord. Guide our steps, calm our fears, and surround us with Your grace.

Holy Mary, Mother of Our Savior, pray for us.

Jesus, help us to be the goodness and kindness.

Amen.
