Perfect Resignation

My God, I do not know what must come to me today.
But I am certain that nothing can happen to me
that you have not foreseen, decreed, and ordained from all eternity.
That is sufficient for me.
I adore your impenetrable and eternal designs,
to which I submit all my heart.
I desire, I accept them all, and I unite my sacrifice to that of Jesus Christ, my Divine Savior.
I ask in His name and through His infinite merits,
patience in my trials, and perfect and entire submission
to all that comes to me by your good pleasure.
--St. Joseph Pignatelli, SJ
