By pursing what we think is best for our children, we can miss the glory of the Father's plan for each one. They, too, have been created for a specific mission. How can we help them get there? Pray to the Son who lives in a constant, intimate union of love with his Father. Ask for the grace to yield to his plan instead of your own.
"Lord, this Lent may I renounce all my willfulness and efforts at self-glory."
