When admiring nature

Blessed be God as many times as there are stars in the sky,
grains of sand on the earth, drops of water in the sea!
Blessed be the holy name of Jesus and Mary
As many times as there are flowers and leaves and fruit
in the meadow, in the forest!
May all creatures bless the Lord,
May the skies and the earth and
All that they contain bless the Lord!
How great is the Providence of God!
How good and generous God is in creating
So many things for his creature.
Blessed Jean Martin Moye

ACT OF ABANDONMENT TO DIVINE PROVIDENCE

Providence of my God, I adore You in all Your designs.

I place my destiny in Your hands, confiding to You all that I have,
all that I am, and all that I am to become---
my body and my soul, my health and reputation,
my life, my death, and my eternal salvation.

As I rely entirely upon You and expect all from Your goodness,
I will not give myself up to any useless anxiety.

I confide to You the success of all my undertakings,
and in all difficulties I will have recourse to You as a never-failing source of help.

I know that You will either preserve me from the evils I dread,
or turn them to my good and Your glory.

Peaceful and contented in all,
I will allow Your Providence to govern my life without worry or over-eagerness.

Holy, wise, generous, and loving Providence!
I thank You for the tender care You have taken of me up to this moment.
I humbly and earnestly entreat You to continue the same for me.

Direct all that I do, guide me in Your ways,
govern me at every moment of my life,
and bring me to the fullness of being
that You have destined for me from all eternity.

May I please You and give You glory forever. Amen!
Blessed Jean Martin MOYE
