HisChild Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Actually, one of my favorite discernment prayers is by Thomas Merton: MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. - Thomas Merton, "Thoughts in Solitude" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SisterAli Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 [color="#000099"]O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding, and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God. Give them courage and strength to follow God's holy will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God's holy service. Amen.[/color] Also...one of my FAVORITES from the Order of School Sisters of Christ the King...that I prayed everyday, and then found out it was the same simple prayer that is printed on the back of there seal....is Lord tell me what you want me to do with my life, and I will do it.

HisChild Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Anima Christi, my favorite prayer for just after I receive my Lord. Salve Regina. . .I love chanting that! And I love the St Gertrude's prayer for those in purgatory, but that's not vocational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOOOOOOOOO beautiful!) Great Saint Dominic You labored for the Salvation of others by Preaching the Word of God In dangerous times Even among the heretics.

Give me the right words To always speak the truth With a zeal for saving souls Amen. AMEN!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My favorite vocation prayer is St. Francis's "Lord make me an instrument of Thy Peace." He was the first Saint I heard about growing up, and after reading Chesterton's book on him I fell in love. This prayer really encompasses what we are called to do as religious.
