Prayer from Mother Angelica
Posted by Scott at 11:47 AM
I went out to fetch today's mail and the only piece was a monthly newsletter from EWTN. In the upper portion it opened with the following beautiful prayer written by EWTN's foundress, Mother Angelica.
Lord and Father, grant that Your Holy Spirit may fill me with an awareness of Your Will in the present moment. I want to see Your Providence, Your guidance, and Your grace in my daily life. Forgive me when I rebel because Your Will seems harsh at times. My light is dimmed by self-will and selfishness. May our Wills join into one Will so I may do in this life what I shall do for all eternity -- perfectly united to Your Will.
Update: Found out it was originally printed in her book "Two Wills — His and Mine", an excerpt of which you can find here. This prayer is at the bottom.
