I am a senior in high school. I will be attending Marion Military Institute (2 year junior military college in Alabama). After I get my associates I plan on enlisting in the Navy to become a Seal (I know the process of how to get the SO rate and that sort of thing). I have always wanted to join the military since Freshman year. As far as my occupation for the early years of my life, there is nothing I want to do but to join the military. I know there is killing, death, destruction, extreme stress, chaos etc. Thinking about that stuff doesn’t faze me. My biggest concern is God’s will/plan for me. I have conflicting feelings as to if it is God’s will that I become a Seal or even join the military at all. I started to take my Catholic faith seriously in the beginning of my junior year. I have been changing my mind about what branch I want to join and what I want to do in the military. So I just might change my mind again. But whatever I do eventually officially decide I will have my full dedication to it and its training. I ask that you all pray for me so that God will be the reason I decide do whatever it is in my life. I want to put God first.
 
Prayer to St. Anthony for Career Path

Blessed St. Anthony, who in life was ever mindful of the needs of the afflicted, consuming himself in the service of God and for the good of souls, who was the enemy of idleness and a tireless worker in the vineyard of the Lord, beseech God to find Johnny a suitable career path in the military, which may procure for him a decent livelihood, and be at the same time a means of personal sanctification and of real service to others. We ask this through Jesus Christ Our Lord, amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom 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 deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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 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.

St. Anthony, helper in all necessities, pray for us.

Praying that you will recognize where the Holy Spirit is leading you. You seem like a brave and intelligent young man who would like to serve his country. I am sure you will be successful at whatever you put your mind to because you sound very determined. Taking your faith more seriously is important too. I suggest praying a lot and visiting the Adoration chapel or scheduled time your church has it to discern the direction you want to go. Praying for the Holy Spirit to guide you.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom 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 deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Dear Friend,

Continue to pray for guidance. I will pray for you as well. I am an active duty military member and have been in the Air Force for 12 years. If you do decide to join the military, get involved with the Catholic community once you get to your first base. From my experience the fellowship is strong and you will have other military members of the faith that can relate to how you feel. I would also recommend talking to a military Chaplain, Priest. There are not that many in the military as a whole however it would probably help to seek counsel and ask questions.
 
Praying that the Lord may bless you and guide you.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
