Dear God.....

I pray that one day our son says a prayer like this.

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. Amen.

“The Prayer of Abandonment,” written at the turn of the last century by Charles de Foucauld, a French priest and hermit who lived and died in Morocco.
