Join us in praying the Prayer of Abandonment. It was written by Charles de Foucauld, a Catholic priest, hermit, and martyr. Some say that it was his prayer to the Father written while on retreat in Nazareth and others say that it is his narrative of Jesus' prayer to the Father. 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.
