In the Gospel, John 17: 11b-19, Jesus says to His Father and
ours: Consecrate them in the truth. Your
word is truth.”
If you are seeking to bring your will into harmony with the
Lord’s, whether that be in choosing your
vocation in life, your career or any other weighty decision, it may be helpful
for you to recall the truth that Jesus prays for you right now as He did before
going to His death. He says to the Father: “Consecrate, ” your name, in the truth. He wants you to know the truth
about which vocation is right for you, which career will energize you, and thus
give life to others, which decision is truly the one you need to make.
I encourage you to step aside for a while, go to a quiet
place, a place of prayer and sit with the Lord, pondering the truth of the
above reflection. In that quiet space,
you will know that God touched you, consecrated you in the truth. The first
time, or after repeated times of seeking God’s will in solitude, you will know
what that will is. “Be stouthearted and wait upon the Lord” (Ps. 27:14).
