PRAYER OF THE DAY

PRAYERS OF SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA

Prayer for Generosity

Dearest Lord,
teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight, and not to heed the wounds;
to labor, and not to seek rest;
to give of myself and not to ask for reward,
except the reward of knowing that I am doing your will.

Take, Lord

Take Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, understanding, my entire will and
all that I possess.
Thou hast given all to me.
To Thee, O Lord, I return it.
All is Thine; dispose of it wholly
according to Thy will.
Give me Thy love and Thy grace,
for this is sufficient for me.
