back again, even as a wheel. Behold, I am Your servant, prepared for all things; for I desire not to live for myself, but for You; and oh, that I could do it worthily and perfectly!”
A Prayer that the Will of God be Fulfilled.
O most merciful Jesus, grant to me Your grace, that it may be with me, and labor with me, and persevere with me even to the end.
Grant me always to desire and to will that which is to You most acceptable. Let Your will be mine, and let my will ever follow Yours, and agree perfectly with it. Let my will be one with Yours, and let me not be able to will or not to will anything else, but what You will or will not.
Grant that I may die to all things that are in the world, and for Your sake love to be condemned and not known in this generation. Grant to me above all things that can be desired, to rest in You, and in You to have my heart at peace. You are the true peace of the heart; You its only rest; out of You all things are hard and restless. In this peace, in this selfsame thing, that is, in You, the supreme, and eternal good, I will sleep and rest.†
