A Discernment Prayer
by Mother Cabrini
My Jesus,
I have not always recognized
your loving plans for me.
Every day,
with the help of your light,
I learn more of your loving care.
Continue to increase
my awareness of the gentleness of
your loving plans.
I want to follow the purpose
for which I was created.
See, I am in your hands.
I need you to help me choose
the best way to serve you.
Walk with me, Jesus.
Stay by my side and guide me!
