Request: Pray that I find a spiritual director, and, if it is God’s will, that Fr Luke becomes that director.

Background: I’ve been looking for a priest in whom I can seek private spiritual direction. To be honest, I want someone more vibrant than any of the priests at my church (the one I would consider doesn’t give private spiritual direction), and so I’ve had to look elsewhere. I wanted to find someone who was spiritually sound, who proclaimed to Gospel and the truths of the Church.

Fr Luke lives in Singapore. I read his blog frequently. He’s all of the above and more. I asked him if he’d be my spiritual director today. He’s going on a retreat for a week and he told me that he’d pray about it. After all, huge decisions like this shouldn’t be made in a snap! Because of the geographic difference, we would write to each other back and forth.

Salvation and sanctification are at the forefront of my mind, and Fr Luke’s spiritual direction would mean the world to me.
 
Lord, please help Fr. Luke to come to his decision. May he not fear to take Philflipsnor on as his directee. May your will be done in this situation and may Philflipsnor’s spiritual needs be met. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.
 
Praying with Bible verses from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Mid-morning reading (Terce) Deuteronomy 8:5-6 ©
The Lord your God was training you as a man trains his child. Keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and so follow his ways and reverence him.

Noon reading (Sext) 1 Kings 2:2-3 ©
Be strong and show yourself a man. Observe the injunctions of the Lord your God, following his ways and keeping his laws, his commandments, his customs and his decrees, so that you may be successful in all you do and undertake.

Afternoon reading (None) Jeremiah 6:16 ©
Put yourselves on the ways of long ago and enquire about the ancient paths: which was the good way? Take it then, and you shall find rest.
 
Praying for your intentions.

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.
 
Lord hear Philflipsnor’s intention regarding spiritual direction. Guide Father Luke always in his discernment as well. Hear these prayers of ours. Have mercy and comfort on our trying souls. Mary, pray with us. Amen. :harp:
