Prayer for Choosing a State of Life

• From all eternity, O Lord, You planned my very
  existence and my destiny. You wrapped me in Your
  love in baptism and gave me the Faith to lead me
  to an eternal life of happiness with You. You
  have showered me with Your graces and You have
  been always ready with Your mercy and forgiveness
  when I have fallen. Now I beg You for the light I
  so earnestly need that I may find the way of life
  in which lies the best fulfilment of Your will.
  Whatever state this may be, give me the grace
  necessary to embrace it with love of Your holy
  will, as devotedly as Your Blessed Mother did
  Your will. I offer myself to You now, trusting in
  Your wisdom and love to direct me in working out
  my salvation and in helping others to know and
  come close to You, so that I may find my reward
  in union with You for ever and ever.
• Amen.
