Teach us, Good Lord,
To serve You as You deserve,
To give and not count the cost;
To fight and not heed the wounds;
To toil and not seek for rest;
To labor and not ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing that we do Your will.
Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty,
My memory, my understanding and my whole will.
All that I am, all that I have,
You have given to me,
And I will give back to You
To be disposed of according to Your good pleasure.
Give me Your love and Your graces,
With You I am rich enough,
Nor do I ask anything besides.
Amen.
~ St Ignatius of Loyola
