The Star of the Magi

I want to discern my vocation, Jesus.
But right now my life is a bit complicated.
I seem to have lost sight of the Star.
I heard that the three Magi returned to their country by a different route.
Without the star.

Can I discern my vocation through a different route?
A different star? A different start?

Contemplating a decision to align my life with yours, Jesus,
I can’t help but think that the journey ahead
is too long.
Is my star really gone?
I hear a resounding No. The star is not gone,
I hear you say. It is inside me, you whisper.

Help me trust more, Jesus,
To go where there is no road.
Sustain me. Return my Star.
I will follow you.
Even if it entails traveling
by a different route.

Amen.
