Graduation Mass

As our graduants close a chapter in their lives and begin a new one, our other members approach the end of a year and the beginning of another one – a year of exciting journeys to be accomplished. Though this sounds oddly like an adventure out of the movies, that is actually what I like to think of life – an adventure. An amazing roller coaster of a journey where we get to know God yet a little more, receive a few more of His gifts and graces and take a teensy step ahead, closer to our final destination : heaven. :)

It seems a little early for talk of heaven, but life is, after all, a practice for an eternity of happiness found in God and with God. We learn so much each day, by God’s grace – to love one another better, to love oneself better and to love God better. We grow and mature a little each day and we get better at accepting and following His will each day.

I have been told that it is pretty bizarre – the uncertainty of the future, especially that of a graduate. There are so many different things that one can branch out to be upon completing one’s degree, and the world is their oyster. Tonight, we celebrated with those of us who have completed their life as a student (including those who sadly, could not make it) and also those who have chosen to go back to their homeland. 

Amidst the heartbreak of separation who we have come to recognise as family but may not see much of anymore, we wished the best for them and will continue to keep them in our hearts as well as in our prayers. 

Our dear graduants, you will always be deeply treasured by COSDU and by God, wherever you are <3 :))
