**What You'll Learn:**

1. **The Simple Prayer That Delights God**: Discover what St. Augustine means when he says, "There is nothing more pleasing we can offer God than to say to him, 'Possess Thyself.'" Learn why the intention behind offering ourselves to God matters more than the words themselves.

2. **Why This Prayer Pleases God**: Explore the analogy of marriage to understand how our surrender unites us with God's love. Just as two people become one in marriage, God desires to unite with us, offering fulfillment and happiness beyond measure.

3. **Practical Ways to Live This Out**: Hear how St. Teresa of Avila incorporated this prayer into her daily life, offering herself to God 50 times a day. We'll provide actionable tips on how you can adopt this practice, using tools like the Rosary and simple repeated prayers to deepen your relationship with God.
