Discernment: Active and Prayerful

Good discernment is both active and prayerful. It means to seek to give yourself and to reflect on the events of your life. "Man can only find out who he is by making a gift of himself."
--- Blessed John Paul II

Discernment Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You love me and you call me every moment of my life.
You have a plan for me, a plan that will help me grace the world in the unique way that only I can.
Send your Spirit into my heart and mind.
Enlighten me with your wisdom that I may come to know today where you are calling me in life.
Give me the strength today to answer that call and inspire others to help me.
I make this prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
