An Alumni Prayer for Marquette
John Piderit, S.J. b. 1944
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 students,
just as they awakened awe and wonder in me.
Grant success to the many projects that current students
undertake.
All this we ask through Christ our Lord.
