St Ignatius

Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess You have given me: I surrender it all to You to be disposed of according to Your will. Give me only Your love and Your grace; with these I will be rich enough, and will desire nothing more. Amen.

Grant, O Lord, that my heart may neither desire nor seek anything but what is necessary for the fulfillment of Thy holy Will. May health or sickness, riches or poverty, honors or contempt, humiliations, leave my soul in that state of perfect detachment to which I desire to attain for Thy greater honor and Thy greater glory. Amen.


O my God, teach me to be generous:
to serve you as you deserve to be served;
to give without counting the cost;
to fight without fear of being wounded;
to work without seeking rest;
and to spend myself without expecting any reward,
but the knowledge that I am doing your holy will.

Late��have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved��you!��You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I��searched for you.��In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things��which you created.��You were with me, but I was not with you.��Created��things kept me from you; yet if they had not been in you they would not��have been at all.��You called, you shouted, and you broke through my��deafness.��You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness.��You��breathed your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for you.�� I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more.��You touched me,��and I burned for your peace.
St. Augustine of Hippo
