A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE
Loving Father, on this first day that I chose to come to the convent, I came with a small and trembling heart, carrying only a simple desire: to listen to Your voice and to follow Your call, if You so choose.
Lord, through the warm smiles, gentle eyes, and loving presence of the Sisters, from the Assistant Superior to the Provincial Superior, I felt Your own love made visible. During the afternoon prayer, when the Sisters lifted their prayers for, my heart was deeply touched. I felt seen, honored, and truly cherished. I wept, overwhelmed by gratitude.
Thank You, Lord, for these quiet and tender graces, for reminding me that I do not walk this journey alone. Beloved Mother Mary, You who ponder all things in Your heart, please receive the simple offering of my soul today. Walk with me in this time of discernment. Teach me to listen, to trust, and to say “Yes” each day, even when the path ahead is still unclear. If You choose me, Lord, grant me a humble and courageous heart.
If You ask me to wait, grant me patience and deep peace. I place everything into Your loving hands and rest my heart in the gentle care of Mother Mary. Amen.Orsola – 20260101
The Last Day of 2025
Today, on the last day of 2025, I pause to look back at this year, the things I was able to do and the things I couldn’t.
First of all, I thank God, who guided me under the light of the Holy Bible and helped me choose the right paths. Even when I felt uncertain, His Word became my compass. There were moments when I felt nervous and anxious, unsure of myself and the future. Yet through it all, I learned to trust more, to pray more, and to grow little by little. Not everything turned out the way I hoped, but everything taught me something. I end this year with gratitude in my heart.
Secondly, I pray for the sisters and priests who have guided and supported me. May God strengthen them in their vocation, fill them with wisdom and compassion, and reward their faithful service.Thirdly, i pray for my family, for my parents, my brothers and sisters. May God keep them safe, grant them good health, peace of heart, and bless them with His love.
Last but not least, not everything turned out the way I hoped, but everything taught me something. I end this year with gratitude in my heart.
Mary, please keep me away from sin. Protect me in all that I do and watch over me always. Amen.
