A Prayer from our archdiocesan seminary

O God,
show us clearly the heart of the kingdom of God.
We do not protest
even if our life is destined to lead to the cross,
or if the way leads to our losing our lives.
We will march in the face of distress and contrary winds.
Teach us how to dispense with unnecessary things.
Let us go forward without any fear
in order to fulfill our mission simply, surely, and steadily.
Reveal to us our station clearly,
and strengthen us to teach and guide, by our example, all persons.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

(St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee; Fr. Steve Malkiewicz)
