As a continuation of yesterday’s meditation in which we reflected on the moving words of our Heavenly Father through Sister Eugenia Ravasio, I would like to offer a prayer that expresses our surrender to God the Father. I have written it myself in order to include in it the great intentions that we present to our Father. Perhaps some of our listeners would like to adopt it to express their own surrender to the Father. In any case, it can also serve to internalize in our hearts the great desires that move our Heavenly Father.

A HEART THAT UNDERSTANDS
“What do I desire to achieve with this work of love, if not to find hearts able to understand Me?” (“Father’s message to Sister Eugenia Ravasio”).
BEGIN EACH DAY ANEW
“Throughout our lives we must work, struggle and begin each day anew” (St. Francis de Sales).
KING OF THE AGES
“Just and true are thy ways, O King of the ages!” (Rev 15:3b).

ONLY ONE IS THE GOOD
“Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good” (Mt 19:17).
Implore the love of God
“O Lord! If only I could trace You in my heart, engrave You with golden letters in the most intimate part of my heart and soul, so that You could never be erased” (Blessed Henry Suso)
AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS VERY GOOD
“Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness (…)”.God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good” (Gen 1:26,31).
CONFIDENCE BEFORE THE FUTURE
“Do not be afraid of what may happen to you” (Inner Word).
UNDER THE GAZE OF THE FATHER
“Your life is completely in my hands and I decide what and when it happens” (Inner Word).
SURRENDER TO THE FATHER WITHOUT RESERVE
“Give me, o Lord, what you command, and command what you will” (St. Augustine).
With our eyes fixed on our heavenly Father, we can confidently utter this prayer, which moves us to give ourselves completely to the Lord and to refuse Him nothing. Often we are still reluctant to entrust ourselves unreservedly to our Father, clinging to the seemingly solid foundation of our natural inclinations. Perhaps there is even a certain fear that our Father will ask something of us that we are not ready to give Him. Read More
