At a recent ministry gathering, a woman share this beautiful prayer by Charles de Foucald. It reminded me of the Suspice.
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.
