Welcome all Discerners

Since October is assigned the Vocation Month, i will feature different congregations, and some notes to aid the discerner.

As a general principle: ALL CONGREGATIONS ARE GOOD. GOD would not allow any community to last if it does not fit into His plan. What is important is to discern whether the congregation's lifestyle, charism and mission all FIT into the discerner's desire and dreams.

Lenten Reflection


Prayer for Lenten Days

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23, 24
Loving Lord! Thank You for bringing me into these days of introspection.
I take this time to analyse my ways and meditate upon the ultimate sacrifices You have made for me, a grant sinner.

Lord! There were times when I had been so mean to others and when I had lost my patience and integrity.
There were times when I had lost faith in You when I had been unfaithful to You without even acknowledging Your sacrificial love for me.
Please forgive me for all the sins I have committed against You as well as my fellow-men.
Let me regain the spiritual values I have lost and restore in me the original first love for You. I rededicate myself at Your feet, Lord!
Search me and fill me with Your divine presence so that my life can reflect the Gospel.
Let this Lenten season be a time of restoration and the means for renewed direction and perspective. Please guide me and make me a channel of blessing to others.
Thank You for helping me to reflect Your love and sacrifice.
In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen
