ST. CHARLES DE FOUCAULD'S PRAYER OF ABANDONMENT / by Joe Castorino

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.

Amen.
