    BY FATHER THOMAS KEATING


    Welcome, welcome, welcome.
    I welcome everything that comes to me today
    because I know it’s for my healing.
    I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons,
    situations, and conditions.
    I let go of my desire for power and control.
    I let go of my desire for affection, esteem,
    approval and pleasure.
    I let go of my desire for survival and security.
    I let go of my desire to change any situation,
    condition, person or myself.
    I open to the love and presence of God and
    God’s action within. Amen.
