Prayer for Discerning a Vocation
How does God want you to labor in His vineyard? Pray for clarity in discerning your vocation.
Lord, my God and my loving Father, you have made me to know you, to love you, to serve you, and thereby to find and to fulfill my deepest longings. 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 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 of my strength right to the end. Jesus, I trust in you. Amen
Search your church building to see if any works of art depict any of the twelve apostles. You may want to bring a list of their names to help your search!
In today’s Gospel, Jesus sent out the
twelve to proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. This week, proclaim
the good news of Jesus to someone you don’t know. Ask the Lord to send someone
to you that has an open heart and is ready to receive the good news.
