PRAYER OF ABANDONMENT
Saint Charles de Foucauld
My heart rejoices in you, Father;
There is no one holy like you;
There is no one besides you;
There is no rock like you.
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 desire no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul;
I offer it with all the love of my heart,
For I love you Lord, and so need to give myself into your hands.
Without reserve, and with boundless confidence,
I accept your divine presence in my life,
For you are my Father, and I desire to become a feather on your breath so that I might be Christ’s light to my community, and a fountain of His living water for a parched and dying world.
I praise you Father; I thank you Jesus; Make me a feather on your breath Holy Spirit, that I might be Christ’s light and a fountain of His living water for those around me!
