Prayer: Francis de Sales

Lord, I am yours, and I must belong to no one but you. My soul is yours and must live only by you. My will is yours and must love only for you. I must love you as my first cause, since I am from you. I must love you as my end and rest, since I am for you. I must love you more than my own being, since my being subsists in you. I must love you more than myself, since I am all yours and all in you.

My desire is to love our Lord with all of my being. Total surrender is a challenge but that is where I desire my journey to lead me. Thank you for sharing this prayer.
