My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins, and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate mother, St. Joseph, my father and Lord, my guardian angel,

intercede for me. Almost a hundred years ago, a young priest was doing his retreat in Madrid,

in Spain, and he'd been asking lights.

He'd been asking you, my Lord, to discover the purpose, the meaning of his life, even inside his priesthood.

He knew that there were something bigger than himself and a mission, a sense of a mission, that he didn't know.

And for years he prayed with intensity,

Domine, Udvidium, Lord,

may I see what you want for me.

And on October 2nd, 1928th,

you finally spoke to him

and you showed him something, something divine, something that

would last till the end of the world, a revolution of love, a message, a mission, a vocation.

And he saw what he later called Opus Day, the work of God.

So today, my Lord, at the beginning of my prayer, I want to ask you the same thing.

Dominé, Udvidium, Jesus, Holy Spirit, God the Father, help me to see what you want for me,

and help me to want what you see for me, both things.

Because my vocation is not just static, waiting for your word to be uttered.

It's not just another Amazon package that I receive.

My vocation is also my drive, my dreams.
