Looking for a blessing for Graduates
-
In Book of Blessings, I see there's an Order for the Blessings of Students and Teachers, but, as far as I can see, nothing specifically for the occasion of graduation. We're doing a baccalaureate Mass for our graduating HS seniors in a few weeks and I'm looking for something to use to bless them. Anybody got something?

One might use one of the Blessings for Special Occasions of Life here:
https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/sacraments-and-sacramentals/sacramentals-blessings/order-for-a-blessing-to-be-used-in-various-circumstances
For example:
Lord,
let the effect of your blessing
remain with your faithful people
to give them new life and strength of spirit,
so that the power of your love
will enable them to accomplish what is right and good.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
