Greeting to Catholic Answers Forum,

You guys may not know me, but I am currently working on my Master’s in Sacred Theology. I had applied to another University to see if I could get accepted to study for my Master’s in Sacred Music - [Sacred Composition]. I just go the acceptance letter. My family is very supportive. I have not talked with my spiritual director on this one. I feel inside that this is what the Lord wishes me to do so. Earlier I had mentioned that I was going to apply and my spiritual director said if I was going to be accepted we would cross that bridge, and here it is. 🙂

When I applied to the University offering the Master’s in Sacred Music I told them I was pursuing a Master’s of Sacred Theology. They were very understanding and it looks as if I can pursue both degrees side by side. However this will limit my time and free time.

Both degrees are being paid for so I am not incurring debt.

Please pray that I may discern what to do. And if I do choose to start this degree program that I would have the perserverance to finish both degrees. I do plan on pursuing my doctorate in Sacred Theology and if I do go to my Master’s in Sacred Music, I shall pursue that doctorate as well.

Oh I meant to say that both Universities are in the same city, so that helps as well.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

God Bless.

Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kindgom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliever us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
 
Praying for you, always, Anathama. I know you will do superbly.
 
***Discernment Prayer

Heavenly Father,
You love me and you call me every moment of my life.
You have a plan for me,
a plan that will help me grace the world
in the unique way that only I can.
Send your Spirit into my heart and mind.
Enlighten me with your wisdom
that I may come to know today
where you are calling me in life.
Give me the strength today
to answer that call
and inspire others to help me.
I make this prayer
through Christ Our Lord. Amen.***
 
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love,
Send forth Thy spirit, and they shall be created, and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

O God, who doest instruct the hearts of Thy faithful people through the light of the Holy Spirit, grant in the same spirit that we may be ever truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation, through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Best wishes to you, whichever way you decide!
 
Greetings Odile53, Lin75, and Peggy in Burien,

Thank you so much for your prayers. My spiritual director is coming to eat Thanksgiving dinner with me and my friends and family, who flew in from the United States to be with me. I shall break the news to him then.

I have a funny feeling that I will be counseled to pursue both. I do know this, I on my own could never do this. I have looked at the course requirements and I shake inside knowing that it is quite a lot. Yet, if this is from God, which I believe it is, He will give me all the graces that I need to accomplish this, but oh what a struggle it is going to be.

God Bless you Guys.

My dear Anathama Sit,

You are on my prayer list.

Here’s a prayer for you to use:

“O Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten, guide and console me. Tell me what I must do; give me your orders. I promise to subject myself to all that You desire of me and to accept all that You permit happen to me. Let me only know your will.”

Your unabashed purloining friend,

Asia

PS You can do this! 👍

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
 
Greetings 244Rocket and Chris138,
