Prayer to discover and to embrace one’s vocation [transl. Chua]
Lord,
let me come to know the beauty of your call
and the gift of your constant presence.
Help me to understand your design on me
and to listen to you and to imitate you with childlike docility.
Make me understand where I am at
along the journey of the Christian life:
the defects that need to be overcome
and the virtues to strive for.
I abandon myself to you,
so you may help me to do always
your most sweet will.
I ask you this with a generous, firm and renewed heart,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Agape Prayer
to live every encounter in full communion [transl. Chua]
Holy Spirit,
may this encounter be a fraternal agape
gladdened by your presence.
Place in our hearts docility
and grant that your Wisdom,
which we invoke and welcome,
inspire our fraternal relationships.
Help us to be attentive and understanding,
so that dialogue may be serene
and may edify our communion.
Make our active participation respectful and simple,
as it ought to be for sons and daughters who by gift
belong to the great family of God.
Make us understand that you alone are our Teacher,
and so, place in our hearts the desire to listen to you,
now and always,
with a humble spirit. Amen.
