Dear Newman Community,

Please join me in congratulating all NMSU & DACC seniors who are graduating this weekend! Graduates, your efforts and hard work- challenging group projects, late night cram sessions, balancing school, family & work- have paid off. We hope your time at NMSU has been an opportunity to grow not only academically and professionally but also socially, emotionally and spiritually. As you embark on the next chapter of your journey, remember you always have a home here at the Newman Center. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers!

​Peace!
​Mona  
Blessing of Graduates
Before you were even formed, God knew you.
While in your Mother's womb, God named you.
At your birth, God's breath filled you with life.
Today we celebrate what you have become at this moment in time.
And so we pray, God of our beginnings,
We thank you for the gifts of these graduates;
their excitement, their awesome wonder and curiosity,
their open speech and encouraging words.
Their contributions have blessed and challenged us,
and we have become a richer and more diverse community because of them.
As they step forward into the world that awaits,
comfort their fears with the full knowledge of your divine presence.
Strengthen their resolve to walk in the footsteps of Jesus
as modern-day disciples in a world that needs their spirit.
Guide their feet as they move through life,
protecting them from the pitfalls of darkness while they help
to lead future generations into the warmth and promise of your light.
We ask this blessing upon each of them,
​In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Called to be Servant LEaders

Dear Newman Community,
 
It’s hard to believe the end of another semester is nearly upon us, and with it, a time of endings. Over the course of the entire year we’ve heard seniors bemoaning their ‘lasts.’ Several weeks ago they experienced their last Awakening retreat. This week they will enjoy their last Midweek Mass & Dinner. Next Sunday night will be their last Student Mass as undergraduate students. But it’s also a time of new beginnings– fitting as we are still in the Easter season. Some are on their way to further studies as graduate students. Others are putting their newly acquired skills and knowledge into the workplace.
 
Campus Ministry is also entering a time of endings and new beginnings. So much of what we are able to do in Campus Ministry is thanks to the volunteer time and effort generously given by our student leaders. Over the next couple of weeks we are preparing for the coming school year by inviting new students to get more involved at Newman by serving on a Ministry Team or helping lead one of these teams as a Ministry Team Servant Leader (‘SL’). Please keep us, both students and staff, in prayer, as we all discern how we are being called to grow in relationship with God and others in our community.
 
Peace,
​Mona
 
​Prayer for Servant Leaders
 
Christ, our Teacher,
you give us all good things.
You invite us to
service and leadership
as an expression
of your love for us,
and you allow us
the freedom of following
your example of self-gift.
As we seek to respond
to the needs of our world
in our own ways,
make us more like yourself.
We ask this
through Christ, the Lord.
Amen.
 
-Called to Servant Leadership Retreat, ACE, Notre Dame
