NEW SAINT - OLD FAVORITE

 

 Today one of our favorite saints will be canonized-  

Here is CHARLES de FOUCAULD's  Prayer of Abandonment

 

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.
