PRAYER OF SAINT IGNATIUS LOYOLA
Dearest Lord,
teach me to be generous;
teach me to serve You as You deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labour and not to ask for reward save that
of knowing I Am doing Your Will. Amen.
BENEDICTION
Lord, support me all the day long of this troublous life, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over and my work is done. Then of Thy mercy, grant me a safe lodging, and a holy rest and a peace at last through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
PRAYER FOR OUR NATION
Father, who have molded into one our nation,
drawn from the peoples of many lands;

and the many grapes one cup of wine,
so before all others be instruments of your peace.
Amen.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Psalms 33:12
