Prayer of Abandon

“Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit” Lk 23.46.

“This is the last prayer of our Master, of our Beloved...may it be ours...And may it not only be that of our last moment, but of all our moments.”

Translation :

Padre mio,

io mi abbandono a te,
fa di me ciò che ti piace.

Qualunque cosa tu faccia di me
Ti ringrazio.

Sono pronto a tutto, accetto tutto.
La tua volontà si compia in me,
in tutte le tue creature.
Non desidero altro, mio Dio.

Affido l'anima mia alle tue mani
Te la dono mio Dio,
con tutto l'amore del mio cuore
perché ti amo,
ed è un bisogno del mio amore
di donarmi
di pormi nelle tue mani senza riserve
con infinita fiducia
perché Tu sei mio Padre.

This prayer is the shared prayer of all those who claim a relationship with Charles de Foucauld, everywhere in the world; that is why it has been translated into many languages.

Charles did not write it quite as it is appears now: it was taken from a larger meditation, written in 1896, in which he sought to join with the prayer of Jesus on the cross.
