Today on Meditative
Monday, I offer for your study a prayer of St. Francis de Sales. Read each
section very slowly, and commit yourself to God on each level. Do it
prayerfully, and mean it. This prayer is a good daily prayer to keep us on the
path to God
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 from You.
I
must love You more than my own being,
Since my being subsists by You.
I must love You
more than myself,
Since I am all Yours and all in You.
Amen.
(From “Treatise on the Love of God, by St.
Francis de Sales)
