To celebrate the inauguration of Pope Francis we include the prayer

of St. Ignatius founder of the Jesuits.

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.   Amen
