Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, loving God, as we prepare to conclude this seminar, we once again lift up our hearts to You. Our hearts praise you for your utmost wisdom in granting us solutions to the problems offered today. The Divine Source of All Life, we thank you for the gifts that have been present within this act of service. For the gifts of fellowship and understanding, of mutual respect and shared vision, we are grateful for the gifts of perseverance and insight into the common concerns we share. For these and all other graces, we are thankful. As we leave this seminar to proceed to our designated tasks, may your grace be with us as we fulfill our duties and responsibilities. As You have blessed our coming together, now please do bless our departure and journeys homeward.

You taught us to love, to be humble and to see you in others. May we perceive your face in each of our students, our colleagues, faculty and staff, and the people around us. May we serve you through them and love them as you have loved. All these we ask, Glory be to the father and to the son and to the holy spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.
