O God, now I have given my life to you, but where should I go? Lead me to your calling. You say that all whose desire is holiness shall be satisfied. How I long, O Lord, for your Spirit to complete me. To be overcome with love for you. To totally and entirely shun all that is worldly. To totally and entirely deny myself and commit myself to you. You call all to holiness, O God, yet how do I get there? Fog covers the ground and I cannot see the path on which you are leading me.
