A Prayer for Your Reflection

A Prayer For Your Reflection

 

God has created me to do Him some definite service;

He has committed some work to me, which He has not

committed to another. I have my mission-I may never

know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.

 

Somehow I am necessary for His purposes, as necessary in

my place as an Archangel in his-if, indeed, I fail, He can

raise another, as He could make the stones children of Abraham…

 

He has not created me for naught. I shall do

good, I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace,

a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it,

if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him

in my calling.

 

  Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman
