Reflection Day of Prayer
for Vocations
‘God has created me to do Him some definite
service. He has committed some work to me which He
has not committed to another. I have my mission. I
may never know it in this life, but I shall be told
it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of
connection between persons. He has not created me
for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work.
I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth
in my own place, while not intending it if I do but
keep his Commandments. Therefore, I will trust Him,
whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am
in sickness, my sickness may serve Him, in perplexity,
my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my
sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He
knows what He is about. He may take away my friends.
He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel
desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from
me. Still, He knows what He is about.’ ~
‘The Mission of my life’ by John
Henry Cardinal Newman
