Surrender

"Preaching to the Birds" by Giotto
from Christus Rex

Beloved Mother-Father God,

Take command of every particle of my Being:
my thoughts,
my feelings,
my mind,
my speech,
my body,
my behavior,
my heart,
my soul,
and
my world.

Blaze thy perfection in, through, and around me.

~ St. Francis via Anne Hughes

St. Francis of Assisi suggested this intention for those interested in surrendering to the Will of God. This intention has expanded over the years from the original version given.
