rayer of
Abandonment
(Charles de Foucauld)

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.
