I share it as I prepare to depart for my 30-day Ignatian retreat in Gloucester, Massachusetts

A Prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola
Teach us, dear Lord,
to serve Thee as Thou deservest;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to labor and not to ask for any reward
save that of knowing
that we do Thy will.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Oh that this prayer could stay with us.
