Prayer for Detachment
Lord Jesus, I desire to dedicate myself entirely to You. Therefore,
1. Detachment from Material Possessions
Without clinging to wealth, comfort, or luxury,
I lay everything at Your holy feet.
2. Detachment in Human Relationships
May my family members and friends be blessed;
but teach me to love You above all of them.
3. Detachment from Fame and Praise
Let neither human praise nor insult disturb me,
but grant me the grace to realize that all glory belongs to You.
4. Detachment in Sufferings and Trials
In the midst of pain, sickness, and humiliation,
give me strength to bear them united with Your Cross.
5. Detachment from Self-Will
Setting aside my desires, wishes, and plans,
lead me to live wholeheartedly saying: “Your will be done.”
6. Detachment from Knowledge and Talents
Help me to recognize that my knowledge and talents come only through Your grace,
and to use them solely for Your glory.
“Lord Jesus, to remain one with You, help me to stand firm in detachment.
May my whole life be directed towards You alone, striving only for the growth of Your Kingdom. Amen.”
