Theology of the Heart: Wisdom of the heart- Bl. Charles de
Foucauld |
Father
I entrust myself to you
Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916)
“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” (Lk 23:46) That was our
Master’s, our Beloved’s last prayer. May it be ours. And may it not only
be the prayer of our last moment, but that of all our moments: “Father,
I place myself into your hands; Father, I entrust myself to you; Father,
I abandon myself to you. Father, do with me as pleases you; whatever you
do with me, I thank you. Thank you for everything. I am ready for
everything, I accept everything, I thank you for everything so long as
your will is done in me, my God, so long as your will is done in all
your creatures, in all your children, in all whom your heart loves. I
want nothing else, my God. Into your hands I commend my soul, I give it
to you, my God, with all the love of my heart, because I love you, and
because in my love I need to give myself, to place myself into your
hands beyond all measure. I place myself into your hands with infinite
trust, because you are my Father.”
