Prayer
Lord of all, sometimes our culture can be hyper-focused on personal independence and strength, tempting us to believe life is primarily about the pursuit of our own desires and will. Inspire us by the words and example of St. Teresa of Avila to recognize and accept that the call at the center of our life is to pursue the will of God. May the example of her life foster within us a profound commitment to God’s will today and every day. We pray in the name of the God who creates and calls us. Amen.
