Lord, you have called me for a reason
Since I was formed in my mother’s womb
And set apart to be a consecrated person
To taste your love in a honeycomb.
All the years of my life you have called me
In the midst of daily life’s trials you were there
Faithfully trusting your divine will as I let it be
And embrace trials whoeheartedly my dear Father.
Here I am, Lord, teach me to love you wholly
To serve you joyfully with all my heart
To share your true love to my brethern freely
The joy of your heart which I love to impart.
Empower me with divine grace in whatever I do
Totally yours is my heart, spirit, body and mind
Come, Holy Spirit and lead me wherever I may go
Now and forever be my guide.
