A prayer for your vocation


Lord, help me discern my vocation.


Lord my God, my loving Father, you have made me to know you, to love you, to serve you and thereby to find and fulfil myself.


I know that you are in all things and that every path can lead me to you, but of them all there is one especially by which you want me to come to you.


Since I will do what you want of me, I pray that you send your Holy Spirit to me: into my mind to show me what you want of me; into my heart to give me the determination to do it and to do it with all my love, with all my mind and with all my strength.


Amen
