Empty Hands Prayer

Lord, may I return to You all that You have given me.
When I die, and I see You face to face,
may all I give You is my empty hands
because, that which You so freely gave me,
I used in service to You
for Your greater Honor and Glory.
May I have used Your graces to bring You Your Heart’s desire:
Souls,
Many, many souls.

Lord,
Before I die,
May my knees be sore from worshiping.
May my fingers be bent from praying.
May my arms be empty because I have nothing left to give.

Lord,
Let me serve You and give my all for Love of You.
Just as You died on the Cross,
with nothing left to give,
except for the last drops of blood and water in Your Sacred Body,
Let me give all to You,
for You,
as You have given all
for me
and
to me.

Amen.
