O God, You created me for a purpose, a specific task for the Church and humanity. You have always known the work I was cut out for, a work which only I can do and no other. If I do not accept this work, it will never be done. Therefore, I have a job to do. Make clear to me your will, and I will follow you in whatever task this may be. I know I can do all things in you, my strength. Amen.
