The Week's Prayer
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory,
my understanding,
and my entire will—
all that I have and call my own.
You have given it 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.
