Prayer for Generous Living

By Betsy Schwarzentraub | March 19, 2019

Attributed to St. Ignatius

 

Lord, teach me to be generous,

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 look for any reward,

Save that of knowing that I do your holy will.
