Continue praying Mother Angelica Novena to honor this remarkable servant of God and seek her intercession for holiness.
Today's Focus: Religious Vocation
On this fourth day, we pray for discernment and faithfulness to God's call in religious life.
Prayer for Day 4
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us Your servant, Mother Angelica, as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the devotion to You she showed in choosing to serve You in religious life.
Mother Angelica, you began to feel that God was calling you to the religious vocation when you were a young woman. You discerned that He was calling you to the contemplative life, and you chose to serve Him faithfully as a Poor Clare nun.
You continued to follow God's call to serve Him in unique ways throughout the rest of your life. Your willingness to do what God asked led you to accomplish great things in Catholic media.
Pray for me, that I may always be willing to serve God in whatever ways He calls me to. Pray that I may be eager to follow God's call in my life.
Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).
Mother Angelica, pray for us!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
