my prayer

my dearest beloved Lord and mommy Mary
please improve my heart
help me to be more simple and loving and generous
i am sorry for being lukewarm and for taking You for granted
knowing how much You love me

please help me understand my calling more clearly
so that my work can be fruitful
not only as a resident
but as a wife, daughter, and mother

above all, please give me time with my family
dear Lord, please, if it be your will
because it saddens me to leave them as often as i do
and i know they need me too

please give me the grace and endurance
if it be Your will for me to continue this residency
if i may be so bold to ask for a little sign
amen
