For all gathered here this day, for the community of faith at the College of the Holy Cross and for for all those who serve the People of God, we pray: All: Lord, hear our prayer.

For reconciliation among those divided by religious and civil strife, for lasting peace in nations torn apart by war, and for the restoration of health and well-being for all peoples, we pray: All: Lord, hear our prayer.

[Read in Spanish] For all the people we have met in our service experiences over the years, and for all the communities we have met on domestic and international immersion excursions, we pray to the Lord:] All: Lord, hear our prayer.

For the members of the Class of 2021 as we go forward from Holy Cross, for those who will be serving in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and other service organizations, and for our dedication to walk with the poor and outcast of the world in a mission of reconciliation and justice, we pray: All: Lord, hear our prayer.

[Read in Spanish] For our families who supported us during these four years, for those who are unable to join us today but are present in Spirit, and for the sick and deceased among our families and friends, we pray: All: Lord, hear our prayer.

For the faculty, administration, staff, students, and alumni of the College of the Holy Cross, for our trustees and benefactors, and for the members of the Society of Jesus, we pray: All: Lord, hear our prayer.
