Saint Ignatius - Suscipe

Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.

Daily Prayer of Surrender

Lord, as I confront the challenges of my day, help me to know that together we can handle anything. All worry and all stress I lay in the palms of your hands.

Lord, lift the weight of the day from my shoulders. Help me to remember to allow others to help. You gave us community so that we would not have to do it all ourselves.

Teach me humility. I do not have to do this alone. Take this day into your hands, and show me your way. Give me the grace I need to let go.

AN ACT OF OBLATION by St. Francis de Sales

I vow and consecrate to God

all that is in me:

my memory and my actions to God the Father;

my understanding and my words to God the Son;

my will and my thoughts to God the Holy Spirit.

I consecrate my heart, my body,

my tongue, my senses and all my sorrows

to the sacred Humanity of Jesus Christ,

who consented to be betrayed

into the hands of wicked men

and to suffer the torment of the Cross for me.

A PRAYER OF SURRENDER TO THE DIVINE WILL

Most holy Trinity, Godhead indivisible,

 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

 our first beginning and our last end, 

you have made us in accord with your own image and likeness.

Grant that all the thoughts of our minds,

 all the words of our tongues, 

all the affections of our hearts,

 and all the actions of our being 

may always be conformed to your holy Will.

So may we, having seen you veiled in appearance here below

by means of faith, 

come at last to contemplate you face-to-face,

in the perfect possession of you forever in heaven. Amen.
