The Abandonment Prayer

Gearing up for the cross (and for ordination interviews next week), I felt this prayer is appropriate:

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, so I need to give myself,

to surrender myself into your hands,

without reserve, and with boundless confidence,

for you are my Father.

- Charles de Foucald
