My Father, I place myself in your hands.
Do with me as you will.
Whatever you do with me,
I thank you for it.
I am ready for anything, I accept everything.
I do not wish for anything else,
but that your will may be fulfilled in me,
in all your creatures, my God.
I entrust my soul into your hands.
I give it to you, my God,
with all the love of my heart,
because I love you and it is my love's need to give myself,
to surrender into your hands without measure,
with infinite trust,
for you are my Father.
(Charles de Foucauld /1858–1916/)
