<\/p>\n

I have a friend who\u2019s in need of some prayer. He\u2019s trying desperately to discern his vocation. I\u2019m sure a few of us have friends like that. So if you don\u2019t mind, take a moment and pray for my friend, A., and anyone else struggling to find their place. <\/p>\n

\u201cO Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding, and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God. Give them courage and strength to follow God\u2019s holy will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God\u2019s holy service.
\nAmen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
