To surrender oneself is more than to devote oneself, more
than to give oneself, it is even something more than to abandon oneself to God.
In a word, to surrender oneself is to die to everything and to self, to be no
longer concerned with self except to keep it continually turned toward God.
--St. Marie-Victoire Couderc
