How amazing is the design of Your wisdom for the human race. You have willed to manifest and glorify the Mystery of who You are by pouring Yourself out and becoming one of us. You dwell among us and give Yourself up entirely for each and all of us.
You reveal that the Absolute Being is Absolute Love, and You offer that Love to each of us. In your wisdom you shape the hearts of each of us, fashioning us to be Your companions, making us capable of giving and receiving love and then placing Yourself in the midst of us so that we might love You and be loved by You and be transformed into Your likeness.
O Jesus help me.All I can do is offer everything to You.
You have created me for Yourself.
My heart desires You,
and yet how often do I even think of what I do?
I am resolved to do the best I can.
I am resolved to seek Your will and to do Your will,
because Your will is Love,
and it will always be what will enlarge my soul,
and make me truly free,
because I am made for Love.
I have been entrusted to Your Love,
ever since the day when You claimed me as Your own;
in spoken word and water and the Spirit,
I was born anew,
a child of the Father,
inserted into the history of Love's ultimate gift,
anointed as a witness to hope.
I encounter You in worship,
in the precious faces of my brothers and sisters
who walk with me on this journey toward You,
in the welcoming words of Your forgiveness,
and especially in the Bread of Life given each day,
You, body and blood, salvation, become our food.
Jesus, I need You.
Come and nourish me, be my sustenance.
I embrace You and I unite myself wholly to You,
with my small love and all my incoherence,
my wounds, my fears, my hesitations, my need for healing,
but also with all my confidence in Your presence and Your Love.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
I abandon myself completely to You,
and to Your plan for my life.
I know there is weakness and resistance in me
that I do not know how to overcome.
I know there are ways I must grow that I do not understand.
I know that my life is a mystery
and to Your plan for my life.
I know there is weakness and resistance in me
that I do not know how to overcome.
I know there are ways I must grow that I do not understand.
I know that my life is a mystery
hidden in Your wisdom and goodness.
O Jesus, I offer everything to You.
Convert me.
Change me.
Open my heart to the Love You give me in this moment.
Carry my soul.
Give me, in Your Infinite Mercy, the willing heart
that loves You in the way You long for me to love You.
I am hindered from the freedom for which I have been made,
the freedom to live as the image and grow as the likeness of God.
And so I abandon myself entirely to Your Mercy.
For You have loved me first,
so that - by the power of Your Love - I might love You
and receive You in giving myself to You.

Jesus, I trust in You.
