Prayer for Those Discerning the Priesthood or Religious Life
Asking for courage to answer a possible call
1 min read
For those wondering whether they are called to the priesthood or religious life, this prayer asks for the clarity and courage such a decision requires.
Lord, if you are calling me to serve you in the priesthood or religious life, help me hear that call clearly and answer it with courage rather than fear. Quiet my doubts about whether I am worthy or capable — you have called ordinary people to extraordinary things before. Give me good guides along the way, and the peace to trust that you will lead me where I am truly needed. Amen.
