Day 5: A Novena for Homeschool Mothers

Day Five: My Vocation as Home Keeper

Almighty God and Father, grant me a clearer sense of my vocation as I work through the duties of my day. Your Holy Presence dwells with us in the home You have graciously provided. Elevate my thinking so that I may not see the work of the day as mere drudgery, but recognize and embrace each task as a grace offered for spiritual growth. Help me to be mindful that, in my efforts to create a home of order and beauty, each task is an opportunity to express my love for You; that I am serving Your Holy Presence dwelling within each member of my household.

Rouse in me a renewed endurance and greater generosity. Grant me the diligence to embrace these invitations to quell the flesh, to silence resentments to overcome selfishness. You labored alongside your Holy mother in a home of peace and order. Indeed, Your entire magnificent creation speaks eloquently of the order of its Creator. Grant that I may cooperate with the graces offered through this most holy vocation and with Your Divine assistance may I labor joyfully to foster a home where You are always welcome and one that reflects the beauty of Your Holy order. 

Receive also Almighty God these specific requests related to my work as the keeper of my home…[insert request here]…and transform me by the grace of your Holy Spirit.

Our Father…Hail Mary…Glory Be…
