Lord God, I thank you for the gift of my Marquette education. As the interval grows longer between that blessed event in my life and the present, my memory is less distinct even as my heart grows fonder for my friends whom I met in those years and who have been with me since. Bless the faculty, who tried hard to get me to learn more. Bless my parents, who made Marquette possible for me and who continue to provide me with love and encouragement. Inspire young men to become Jesuits, so that future generations of Marquette students can benefit from their insight and devotion to Christ. As happened to me in Joan of Arc Chapel, inflame the hearts of current students to aspire to great acts of love and commitment. Guide the faculty to touch the hearts of current student, just as they awakened awe and wonder in me. Grant success to Marquette basketball, the other Marquette teams, and the many projects that current students undertake. Stir me and other alums to be generous in our gifts to Marquette University, which we want to be known for superior performance in competition and great love and affection in praising you. All this we ask through Christ our Lord.
