PRAYER TO THE DIVINE ARTIST / by Joe Castorino

Prayer for the Hour of Mercy, or Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament

“…seek and you will find…” (Matthew 7: 7)

Holding the sweet hand of

Our Lady of Love,

I come before you,

The Divine Artist,

And I wish to discern

Your will in my life.

This is what I desire:

_____________;

If this is your will, too,

Then with great joy,

And heartfelt thanksgiving,

I will surrender you.

This is what I fear:

_____________;

But, if this is your will,

Then with great trust

I will courageously

Carry this cross

And surrender to you.

O Divine Artist,

Paint your will on the canvas of my life.

Your will, not mine, be done:

So what do you want for me?

Amen.
