St. Ignatius’ Prayer
Toma Señor en tus manos toda mi libertad;
mi memoria, mi entendimiento, mi voluntad.
Todo lo que yo poseo, Tú me lo has dado.
Yo te lo devuelvo y te lo entrego, para que disponga de
ello conforme a tu santa voluntad.
Dame tu amor y gracia. Con ellos soy bastante rico y
nada más deseo.
Our Lady of Belen: Pray for us!
