"Prayer of Abandonment"
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.
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
