Richard Crocker, College Chaplain
Opening Convocation Prayer
Dartmouth College
September 10, 2012
God of Truth and Hope:
We are here to seek truth.
Sustain us in that task.
Help us not to be distracted by trivia,
or the fickle tyranny of college rankings,
or the foolishness of harmful traditions,
or illusions of self-importance.
Sustain our search for truth.
And sustain our hope
that this search is a human blessing,
not to be feared, but embraced with joy and perseverance,
and that it will lead us to a better life,
not for some, but for all.
Sustain us, O God of truth and hope,
in our common life,
this year and always.
Amen.
