SELF-SURRENDER
How blessed is the heart with love fast bound
With God the centre of every thought
Renouncing all created things as naught
In Him its glory and joy are found
Even from self, its cares are now set free
T'wards God alone it aims- its actions tend
Joyful and Swift it journeys to its end
O'er the wild waves of life's tempestuous seas.
Schez. de Cepeda Dávila y Ahumada.
Santa Teresa de Jesús
