Be Yourself

The great law of life is: Be yourself. Though this might sound simple, it is o􀅌en a challenging task. To be yourself, you must learn how to become whom you dreamed to be

Each of us has a unique destiny. To be born is to be chosen. There is something special that each of us has to do in the world. If someone else could do it, they would be here and not us.

One of the fascinating questions is to decipher what one’s destiny is. At the heart of each destiny is hidden a unique life calling. What is it you are called to do? In old-fashioned language: What is your vocation in life?

Let us pray.

Lord, grant us in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what You would have us do, that the Spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in Your light we may see light, and in your straight path may not stumbles; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
