Commitment

Reflecting on my failure to prepare for tonights meeting of our Lent Study Group. Our theme is 'Seasons of Renewal'. This week one prayer is this by Charles de Foucald.
My Father
I abandon myself to you,
Do with me as you will.
Whatever you may do with me
I thank you.
I am prepared for anything
I accept everything
Provided your will is fulfilled in me
And in all creatures.
I ask for nothing more
my God.
I place my soul in your hands.
I give it you, my God,
with all the love of my heart
because I love you.
And for me it is a necessity of love,
this gift of myself,
this placing of myself in your hands
without reserve
in boundless confidence,
because you are
my Father.
