July prayer for Alumni Reunion Weekend
We’ll see a few more wrinkles than we saw twenty years ago; a little less hair than thirty years ago; a few more pounds than forty years ago.
We’ll see lots of pictures of children and grandchildren, and even a few old photographs of that mustachioed guy in the hideous striped pants!
We’ll hear stories of success and failures; laughter and maybe a few tears. We overhear someone scream and shout, "Is it really you?" And for all these things, we join our voices and say; "Thank God we’re here!"
We thank God for the years we have shared, the good times we’ve had, the challenges presented to us, the blessings we have received.
We thank God for Marquette University, those who taught us and those who influenced us, for having helped to get us to where we are today.
We ask God to continue sending blessings on Marquette that future generations will have the opportunities we have had; the education we’ve received; the recognition of God’s presence that we share.
We ask God to bless us as we remember, We are Marquette!
Amen
- Frederick Zagone, S.J.,
Chaplain, Marquette University Alumni Association
