Picture of Jesus

[AJV]

I’m trying to find an appropriate picture of Jesus for this prayer. Does anyone know of one?

Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty,
my memory, my understanding and my whole will.
All that I am and all that I possess You have given me.
I surrender it all to You to be disposed of according to Your will.
Give me only Your love and Your grace;
with these I will be rich enough,
and will desire nothing more.

Last night, I read to the part on St. Faustina’s diary. Jesus told her that the only vessel for us to receive graces from God is Trust.
So, this image of the Devine Mercy is the one I would choose.

Wow, what a wonderful prayer!I have 2 pictures I could give you for it-

1.This one because the prayer shows that you are giving your whole life to God,and this picture shows that life on earth is a test,and that He will guard you till you die & get to see him.


2.This one because the prayer shows how much you love God,and Jesus is pointing to His Heart,the source of love, in this picture.


Hope you like the pictures!May I put that prayer on my website?

May I put that prayer on my website?

It’s not mine - it’s from St. Ignatius of Loyola.

A rhyming version is sung at my church often at the Offertory.

Take and receive, O Lord my liberty,
Take all my will, My mind my memory,
Do thou direct and govern all and sway,
Do what thou wilt, command and I obey.
Only thy grace and love on me bestow,
Possessing these, all riches I forgo.

All things I hold and all I own are thine,
Thine was the gift, to thee I all resign.
Do thou direct and govern all and sway,
Do what thou wilt, command and I obey.
Only thy grace and love on me bestow,
Possessing these, all riches I forgo.

Hello AJV,

This has been a favorite for many years, and you may have seen it on occasion somewhere on the internet.

The Prayer of St Ignatius has always suggested to me the image of Dali’s Christ of St. John of the Cross

I am truly stunned to know Dali painted anything so beautiful!..not that I know a great deal about Dali and that is obvious.
Thank you very much for posting it. I will print it when I have a bit more ink and frame it for the kitchen/community room here. Thank you very much again. It is beautiful -truly beautiful! Words fail me - and not a common thing for me!

God’s Blessings and His Peace…Barb
