I feel a draw to serve the Church. But I don’t know how I can other than just attending mass and trying to be the best Christian I can be.
I fled an abusive marriage and we had two children together. So, as I live the life of a celibate father, and through prayer I find my life filling with graces, (and as I await the finalisation of my civil divorce: my “marriage” was completely secular during my time away from the Church).
So, I’ve repented, begged forgiveness from God, and I find myself wondering “what if?” “What if I sought ordination?”
So, I pray to God for direction. I feel His spirit, and I know that given that I have children, I cannot be a priest. But, how else can I serve? I feel a strong urge and desire to do “something”, but I don’t know what He wants.
So, I ask: please help me listen to God, to do His will.

Thank you, and God bless you.

David
 
May God abundantly bless you, David.
May our dear Lord heal you and your children from the damage of a broken and secular marriage.
May the Lord use you as a witness and instrument of good Catholic life to your children, your workmates and your friends by the way you live the commandments and the Sacraments.
May God’s loving will be fulfilled in your daily life and in the lives of your children
 
Praying for your intention:signofcross:

You can find comfort in 2 Corinthians 1:3-11. Trust in God for guidance.

God Bless! you always:heart:
 
Lord, may David listen to the inspirations of your holy Spirit and do your holy will. May he be the best Catholic ever and look into a Secular/Third Order where he may grow closer to you and live his baptismal promises more fully. I know there are good Secular/Third Orders out there, like the Carmelites, Franciscans, Dominicans, etc. Please help David to learn which Order is best suited to him, if he does feel a calling to a Secular/Third Order. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
God Bless you David. I will be praying for you to find an answer soon 🙂

***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.***
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee 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.
