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.'

AMEN

To strengthen your prayers, we invite you to pray the rosary of mercy, offering it to Our Heavenly Father at least once during the novena.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And let us not enter into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
