When I graduated from university my class selected me to give the commencement address. Writing a commencement address is a daunting task. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to say and what wise words I could give to these soon to be graduates. After lots of prayer and reflection my message was a simple one: "Take courage. Do not be afraid".
In these simple words I recalled the importance of being courageous as we were moving into the real world. Courage is so important and I challenge each of you to think about the ways you have been courageous and how you can continue that. In our faith we are tasked with being courageous in our love for Christ. We must also remember that He helps us on our journey in being courageous. How can you take courage into your school, home, and community this week?
