Prayer by Jonathan Montaldo

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The heart of my vocation in becoming a person

is hearing your word proclaimed in the assembly and my response to it.

To find my own way to follow your gospel

is to find my inmost identity as a person.

Come, Holy Spirit, enkindle my mind to hear

and my limbs to do what Jesus tells me.

Encourage me to become who I already am.
