Take Lord, Receive

Fr. Myles  Sheehan, SJ,  explains how to surrender ourselves to God using  “Take Lord, Receive,” the prayer written by St. Ignatius

Take Lord, Receive:

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
 
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
 
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace.
That is enough for me.
