This prayer of Charles de Foucauld searched my soul and refreshed me today. This is what being like God’Son means: The Father’s will is what I accept and surrender to with meekness and intentionally embrace and humbly pursue. A crucified person has no further plans of their own. They can curse God for what is happening or say, “Father into thy hands I commit myself. I entrust to you the very depths of my being.”
…and now the prayer….
Father, Into your hands I commend my soul;
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.
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.
