Lord, I thank you for the gifts you have given me
especially for life, love, family and friends.
Help me to know myself better and to know my talents,
as I pray, study and decide on my life’s work.
Help me to see and understand the path you open for me.
Help me to choose a life’s work, which will be in response
to my potential and your love for me.
If I am being invited to follow you as a sister, missionary
or consecrated lay person, give me a generous heart
to respond to your challenging call and the strength
to follow you wherever you lead me.  Amen
