Take O Lord

Take, O Lord, and receive all my liberty my memory, my understanding and my whole will. Thou hast given me all that I am and all that I possess; I surrender it all to Thee that Thou mayest dispose of it according to Thy Will. Give me only Thy love and Thy grace; with these I will be rich enough, and will have no more to desire.

(Indulgence of 300 days, once a day. — Pope Leo XIII, May 26, 1883.)
