A Prayer of Abandonment

Thanks Sue

The following is from Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament Monastery

Note: This prayer is by Venerable Fr. Charles de Foucauld. His life story is so sad. He worked so hard to have others join his order but he never succeeded. I am glad he is rejoicing in Heaven now.

Father,
I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you:
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
and in all your creatures.
I wish no more than this, O Lord.

Into your hands I commend my soul;
I offer it to you
with all the love of my heart,
for I love you, Lord,
and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands,
without reserve,
and with boundless confidence,
for you are my Father.

Charles de Foucauld
