DAY 4: ‘‘Nevertheless not My will, but Yours be done.'' Luke 22 :42

Part 1: Gospel of St. Luke 22:42

And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed saying : ‘Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me ; nevertheless not My will, but Yours be done.'

Part 2: Meditation (10 Min.)

We will use words from the ‘‘Our Father'' to meditate on this fourth day of prayer :  ‘Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven'.

Find a quiet environment and empty your mind.

Make the sign of the cross.

Plead the Virgin Mary to help you and be with you during our prayer. Start meditating this verse of the ‘Our Father' in your heart, enjoying each word.

Part 3: Request of a Special Intention for Father's Day 

Saint Francois de Sales's prayer to Saint Joseph : Glorious Saint Joseph 

Glorious Saint Joseph, spouse of Mary, grant us your paternal protection, we pray you through the heart of Jesus Christ. You, whose infinite power covers all our needs, and you who make possible for us  the most impossible things, open your eyes as a father on your children's interests. In embarassment and pain that press us, we come to you with confidence ; may you take us under your charitable care and solve this so important issue (your intention), source of our worries. May its successful end serves to glorify the Lord and benefits his devoted servants.

Amen  

PART 4 (end) : 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
