Hi,

Right now I mainly need prayers for good discernment. Any prayers said for this intention for me will be vastly helpful and greatly appreciated. Also, please keep in your prayers my friends and family in whatever God is having them discern as well.

Thank you all and God bless.
Joshua
 
Our God we ask that You abundantly bless and safely guide each member of Joshua’s family

On your behalf,
Thomas Merton’s prayer for discernment
:

O Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going,
I do not see the road ahead of me,
I cannot know for certain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself,
And that fact that I think
I am following Your will
Does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe
That the desire to please You
Does in fact please You.
And I hope I have that desire
In all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything
Apart from that desire to please You.
And I know that if I do this
You will lead me by the right road,
Though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I will trust You always
Though I may seem to be lost
And in the shadow of death.
I will not fear,
For You are ever with me,
And You will never leave me
To make my journey alone.
 
I will pray for your discernment…

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed at thou amoungst women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us!
 
Mother Mary, I commend Joshua and his family to you. Please help them to discern your holy will for them. May they seek counsel, if necessary.

Hail Mary…

Amen.
