Tuesday’s Prayer for Sisters and Nuns and the Grace of Yes

Heavenly Father, in your wisdom you have called certain women to a life of special consecration so that in prayerful observance of a lifestyle of poverty, chaste celibacy and obedience, they might be witnesses to us that, our true citizenship is in heaven. That our eternity lies in saying yes to you in our lives. 

Give them, Lord, the grace of joy and perseverance in their holy vocation. We thank you for their grace of saying yes to you in their lives.

We pray for them through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

(Lisa Hendey’s book focuses in on eight virtues of saying yes to God, whatever your vocation–single, consecrated, or married.)
