Prayer of Abandonment

By: Charles de Foucauld

This famous prayer by Charles de Foucauld reflects his profound love of God and his desire to offer his life for the service of the gospel.

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.
