Simply Surrender

We buy our 7 and 8 year old the weekly booklet called, "MagnifiKid!" I think we have been using this publication for over five years...our now 14 year old used it too. It follows the Mass with all of the readings and responses. It also goes over difficult words found in the readings and explains different parts of the Liturgy. It is awesome for kids to use to follow along with the Mass. They include a prayer to use after receiving Communion and also a different morning and evening prayer each week.
This week it featured a page about creating a prayer notebook. Both of my girls were completely excited about going home and making their own notebooks. I want to share the prayer that they gave the girls to start their prayer notebooks. It was written by Charles de Foucauld in 1896.

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.

A beautiful prayer of confidence in God's will for our lives.

Please pray for a little boy. It is not health related...he needs Jesus.

Mary
Jesus, I trust in You!
