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.
— Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
