Take, Lord, all my liberty. Receive my memory, my understanding and my will. Whatever I have and possess you have given to me; to you I restore it wholly, and to your will I utterly surrender it for your direction. Give me the love of yourself only; with your grace I am rich enough; nor ask I anything beside. In Jesus name: Amen.
Saint Ignatius of Loyola
Spirit of the living Christ, we thirst for your presence; the searching in our mind, the longings in our heart, truly, our souls are restless. Yet you understand, and it is your healing acceptance which enfolds us when our failures overwhelm and our guilt imprisons even our best intentions. Grant us your grace and peace. Amen
Millar, Peter: An Iona Prayer Book, first published in 1998 by The Canterbury Press Norwich
