Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Let only your will be done in me, Into your hands I commend my soul:
Whatever you may do, I thank you:
I am ready for all, I accept all.
and in all your creatures -
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
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, 1858 - 1916
