God of Living Water:
You are the guide we need through life's rough waters
and the calming voice that stills the waves.
You are both the ship of faith in which we travel
and the very waters that renew our lives.
Into the currents of you river of life,
you call and inspire us to new adventures of faith, hope and discovery.
Send your spirit now upon these faithful pilgrims in their final preparations.
Prepare them for the awesome opportunity that awaits.
Fashion them into worthy ambassadors of this parish community,
never failing to reach out,
to learn,
to play
and to celebrate the faith we share.
Let your grace rain down upon these parents
and this parish community of OLBH
that there will be fertile ground
for the renewed faith of these young people.
Grant these safe passage to their destination
and a happy return home.
Grant this through Him who is our water of life, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen
