The Lord your God is the one to whom you must do homage, him alone must you serve. Matthew 4:10

“Jesus’ primary concern was to be obedient to his Father, to be constantly in his presence. Only then did it become clear to him what his task was in his relationships with people. . . . I know that true joy comes from letting God love me the way God wants. . . .”

Our Prayer

Father,
I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you do, I thank you;
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
and in all your creatures.
I wish no more than this,
O Lord.”

—Charles de Foucauld
