Loving God, you draw me into love and communion each day. You invite me to prayer, to friendship, to meet you in the sacraments and in your holy Scriptures.

You have given me a mind for understanding and a heart for loving. You share with me unique gifts and talents. And you give me all of this for a purpose, for a mission, for a purpose and a vocation.

Lord, I place myself in your hands, trusting in your mercy and love. 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.

(based on the Suscipe prayer of St, Ignatius Loyola)
