The Litany of Resignation to the Will of God
For
private use only.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have
mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us. Jesus,
hear us.
Jesus,
graciously hear us.
God the Father, Who hath created
me,
Hallowed be
Thy will.
God the Son, Who hath redeemed
me,
Not my will
but Thine be done.
God the Holy Ghost, Who hath offered
sanctification,
Blessed be the
Most Sweet Will
of God.
Thou Who dost know and foresee
all things,
Have mercy on
us.
Thou Who dost govern and rule all
things,
Have mercy on
us.
Thou Who, according to Thy inscrutable
designs,
dost effect all things in a wonderful
manner,
Have mercy on
us.
Thou Who dost permit evil in order
thence to derive
good for the salvation of the elect,
Have mercy on
us.
In all things and in all possible
events,
Thy Holy Will
be done, O my God.
In all circumstances and disgraces,
Thy Holy Will
be done, O my God.
In my state and employment, etc.
In my affairs and occupations,
In all my actions,
In my health and strength,
In my body and soul,
In my life and death,
In myself and in those who belong
to me,
In all men and angels,
In all creatures,
In all parts of the earth,
At all times,
For all eternity,
Although weak nature complains,
Although it costs much to self-love
and sensuality,
Solely and only through love for
Thee and Thy good pleasure,
Because Thou art my Creator ,
Because Thou art the Supreme Lord
of all things,
Because Thou art infinite perfection,
therefore do I say,
with all the Saints in Heaven,
With the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Thy Holy Will be done, O my God.
With Jesus in the Garden of Olives,
Thy Holy Will
be done, O my God.
Our
Father [silently].
V. May the just, most amiable will
of God be done in all things.
R. May it be praised and magnified
forever! Amen.
Let
Us
Pray.
Grant me Thy grace, O Father,
that
perfect resignation to Thy Holy Will may be with me, and labor with me,
and continue with me to the end. Grant me always to desire and will
that
which is most acceptable to Thee and which pleaseth Thee best. Let Thy
will be mine, and let my will always follow Thine and agree perfectly
with
it. Let me always will and not will the same with Thee; let me not be
able
to will or not will anything except what Thou willest or willest not. R.
Amen.
