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.
— Brother Charles of Jesus
