Midweek Meditation: "Prayer of Mathe Robin"

"May God take my memory and all it remembers,

Take my heart and all its affections,

Take my intelligence and all its powers;

May they only serve your greatest glory.

Take my will completely,

for always I empty it out in yours.

No longer what I want, O my sweetest Jesus,

but always what you want!

Take me … receive me … direct me.

Guide me! I surrender and abandon myself to you!

I surrender myself to you as a small sacrifice of

Love, of praise and Gratitude, for the Glory of your Holy Name,

for the enjoyment of your Love, the triumph of your Sacred Heart,

and for the perfect fulfillment of your Designs in me and around me." 

(Marthe Robin, 1902-1981)
