I received
a lot of requests for the prayer I had at the end of my homily for the
Solemnity of the Ascension. It was originally given to me by Kolbe Alsobrooks, a young man who is a member of St Richard Catholic Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It comes from Reino Christi. Here it is:
Lord Jesus,
I give you my hands to do your work,
I give you
my feet, to follow your path,
I give you
my eyes to see as you do.
I give you
my tongue to speak your words,
I give you
my mind so that you can think in me,
I give you
my spirit so that you can pray in me.
Above all, I
give you my heart, so in me you can love your father and all people.
I give you
my whole self so you can grow in me, until it is you, Lord, who lives, works,
& prays in me. AMEN
