my own will and graft on it yours
so that your will and not mine is always done.
Just as when one cuts a branch from a tree
and grafts on a better one,
its fruit is also much better,
remove from this tree, Oh Father,
the little branch of my will
and graft on it your holy will;
then I will be certain that it will bear beautiful fruit.
~St. Francis de Sales
