Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace.
That is enough for me. – St. Ignatius Loyola
Today is the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (aka the Jesuits). Below is a picture of Atticus praying before the tomb of St. Ignatius at the Gesu Church in Rome:
Happy feast day St. Ignatius!
What a beautiful prayer…thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! I did absolutely nothing to celebrate his feast day this year, and it makes me feel a bit better to read your post.
