"Take Lord, and receive
all my liberty,
my memory,
my understanding,
and my entire will,
all that I have and possess.
You have given all to me.
To You, O Lord, I return it.
All is Yours, dispose of it wholly according to Your will.
Give me Your love
and Your grace,
for this is sufficient for me."

St Ignatius Loyola
