The Suscipe — Prayer of Self-Offering (St. Ignatius)
St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556)
From St. Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises, this prayer gives everything we have back to God and asks only for his love and grace. English translation by Elder Mullan (1914).
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my intellect, and all my will — all that I have and possess. Thou gavest it to me: to Thee, Lord, I return it! All is Thine; dispose of it according to all Thy will. Give me Thy love and grace, for this is enough for me.
