Prayer of Abandonment to God Charles de Fouchauld ( 1858-1916) 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. Lord Jesus, I give you my hands to do your work, I give you my feet to go your way I give you my eyes to see as you do, I give you my tongue to speak your words, I give you my mind that you may think in me Above all I give you my heart That you may love in me your Father and all mankind. I give you my whole self, so that you may grow in me So that it is you, Lord Jesus, Who live and work and pray in me. Amen
