I love you 3000

Inspired by the iconic line from Avengers: Endgame, the Rector, the , bid farewell to his 7th graduating class by expressing the University鈥檚 love for them.

鈥淟ove transforms, love changes everything it touches, it makes heavy burdens light, long hours short, ordinary faces beautiful, houses into homes, picnics into banquets, wilted daisies into bouquets, and sinners into saints,鈥� Fr. Dagohoy said, quoting a poet. 鈥淟ove equalizes. It is a love that unites. It is a love that knows how to forgive. We should learn how to forgive because we are capable of hurting each other.鈥�

Recognizing that the Baccalaureate Celebration punctuates their Thomasian journey, perhaps for good for some, the Rector quoted Pulitzer Prize winner Ellen Goodman, whose thoughts on exits and endings proved apropos for the occasion: 鈥淎 graceful exit begins with the recognition that when something ends, just let it go. It should excite us because it opens the doors to a myriad possibilities.鈥�

With the Gospel for the day signaling Jesus鈥� own farewell to the disciples, the Rector quoted Scripture, saying: 鈥淟ove one another, and You are my friends if you do.鈥� Fr. Dagohoy argued that 鈥渂y our love for one another, we will be identified as followers of Christ. People will know we are Christians because of such love.鈥�

Apart from joining the graduates in their jubilation, Fr. Dagohoy prayed for the graduates to be truly happy, as St. Thomas Aquinas wanted people to be. 鈥淲hat is the best way to achieve happiness? By loving the way God loves. You should be known for the love of the Father that creates, the love of the Son that forgives, and the love of the Spirit that sustains and preserves.鈥�

The Cross, the Light, the Cross

In keeping with tradition, the post-Mass ceremonies included the imposition of the Thomasian mission cross, which is designed after the Dominican cross, with the elements of the University seal imposed on each arm.

The mission cross reminds the graduates of their 鈥渞oots as Thomasians,鈥� said Director Ma. Socorro Guan Hing, RN, DNM, who told the graduating students to allow the said crosses to be their 鈥渟hield as they venture through life outside the University.鈥� As the graduates imposed the cross on one another, they were called on by Fr. Dagohoy 鈥渢o bear witness to the Good News and spread Jesus鈥� holiness.鈥� He also asked the graduates to remember the sacrifices of the Thomasian martyrs and saints, whom he said are models of living life with faith, hope, and love.

Following the imposition of the Cross and the recitation of the Thomasian pledge of loyalty, the Deans and Regents spread the light to their graduates, by lighting each graduate鈥檚 candles from the fire that was sourced from the main source. This light, symbolizing St. Thomas鈥檚 call to illuminate and not merely shine, pierced the otherwise pitch-black night, as the graduating students looked to the blue Cross atop the Main Building and sang the University hymn as one batch of 10,186 for the first and the last time.
