Today is Day One of the Novena for Home Education. But really, it’s for EVERYONE!
You can find the printable here. There you can also find links to talks on education from priests of tradition. #hsnovena
This year I’ll be including a prayer each day for mothers, adapted from “Mother Love, A Manual for Christian Mothers” by Pius Franciscus OFM, Cap (1888).
Join the spiritual community of mothers in praying this novena for the discernment of God’s Will in our families.

My Holy Vocation
O God, Creator and Ruler of heaven and earth, all creatures owe their existence to Your infinite goodness and fatherly love.
You have appointed for each one of us the sphere in which, under Your direction, support and encouragement, we are to press onward to our final goal.
I thank You Almighty God, for the vocation to which you have called me. I thank You for Your all-embracing, all-pervading, all-governing providence, which oversees all of the particular works of this vocation.
I submit to Your dispensation. I resign myself to Your guidance. I grasp Your leading hand, and beg for the grace never to follow the way of my own inclinations.
Your good pleasure shall form my happiness; Your commands shall be my only line of conduct; Your will shall be my will; and Your service the object of all my aspirations.
Give me, O Lord, peace of heart; trust in Your infinite wisdom; courage to stay the course; an ever cheerful disposition proceeding from faith in Your inconceivable love; and fidelity in my duties, springing from remembrance of Your omnipresence and from my hope of eternal reward.
Help me to see that this call upon my life requires the same dedication, commitment and the complete gift of self offered by my sisters who have entered religious life. For Your own honor, O God, help me to fulfill the duties of my vocation for You alone are good and holy, and desire not that any soul should be lost, but that, seeking You and finding You, all may be eternally blessed in You. Amen.
Receive also Almighty God these specific requests related to my vocation (state your intentions) and transform me by the grace of the Holy Ghost.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
