St. Ignatius of Loyola
1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1. Luke 14:25-33

Be totally dedicated to the Most High, father of all in heaven and earth and creator of all that lives and moves and has its being. Realise that you have nothing save what you have been given, and all is given that you may glorify the Father and serve your brothers and your sisters near and far.

And constantly recall as you seek to serve your heavenly Father and His world that it is through constant openness to His will in the grace and power of His love that the way is found and power to do it in faithfulness and love.

Follow daily in the steps of the Son of Man who sought the Father’s will in all things and who came into the world not to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. Take up your cross daily and follow me that I may fulfil in you the good purpose of the Father’s perfect will and glorify the Father in your obedience and faithfulness.
