BEDAN PRAYER

PRAYER BEFORE CLASS

Merciful Father, source of all wisdom and knowledge,
You never cease to love and care for us
Despite our failings,
In Your great love for us,
You sent your only-begotten Son to lead us out of darkness into
the fullness of Your light.

Send forth Your Spirit

To guide our hearts and minds
And to be with us now as we discuss our lessons
So that we may discover
What is true and just.

WE ASK THIS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. AMEN.

PRAYER AFTER CLASS

Most Kind and loving Father, You Sent the Holy Spirit to
enlighten Your apostles.
We thank you for the knowledge and wisdom which,
By the same Holy Spirit, You have bestowed on us.

Continue to bless and protect our school, administrators,

professors, and each and every one of us.

Give grace to accept, with humility, our personal triumphs and

failures, the courage to persevere in our studies, and the
determination to become fully human, wholly Christian and truly
Filipino lawyers –
THAT IN ALL THINGS, YOU MAY BE GLORIFIED.

Grant this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 BEDAN PLEDGE
I am a Bedan.

I Affirm:

The supremacy of Divine law over all other’s laws and the law of love as the
greatest of God’s laws;

The incalculable worth of human life, the inherent dignity of the human
person, and the sacredness of the family;

The principle of stewardship; that everything –my life, my talents, abilities,

resources and possessions, and all the bounties of nature –comes from God and
is merely entrusted to me as his steward, and that whatever I have is not for
my exclusive use, enjoyment and benefit, but for the good and welfare of my
fellowmen especially the poor, disadvantaged and marginalized.

That peace and justice are the primordial end of all human laws, and that
neither justice nor peace can be attained without truth, and I affirm my
abiding faith in democracy and non-violence as a way of life.

I, therefore, commit myself:

To obey God’s laws;

To love my country next only to God;

To protect its environment and safeguard its rich cultural heritage; and to
uphold the Constitution and respect duly constituted authority;

To serve my fellowmen in the spirit of love and humility;

To be honest, just and fair in all that I do;

To have the moral courage to stand up for truth and justice no matter what
the cost;

To be diligent in my work and study; and

To do what is required of me in the building of a fully human, wholly Christian
and truly Filipino community, a just society striving to make the kingdom of
God a reality in this world.

SO HELP ME GOD.

 ACKNOWLEDGMENT

TO GOD for always guiding me, and for giving me the strength and
wisdom that I needed in order to finish these case digests. In
everything that I do, may He always be glorified.

TO MY PARENTS AND SISTER for being supportive in everything

that I do—especially, when it comes to my studies. Without them, I
would not be where I am today. You set as an example of people who
are hardworking, passionate and strong.

TO DEAN SUNDIANG for sharing with us your wisdom and

intelligence. We will definitely treasure and keep in mind everything
you have taught us. You are one of our inspirations—one of the
people who we look up to for your brilliance and expertise in the
aspect of law. We only hope that someday, we would be as great
lawyers as you are. It is our honor to be under your guidance.

TO MY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS for being my companions in

times of hardships and failures, and for reminding me not to give up,
but to do better instead.
