Suscipe

 

St. Ignatius Loyola, who established the Jesuit order, wrote the Suscipe prayer during the sixteenth century. Second Exodus recommends that every Catholic take the entire Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, an extremely powerful thirty day retreat that each person can take either at home or at a monastery retreat house. But we can begin our journey with the Suscipe prayer which begins each day of the thirty day retreat by offering ourselves, whole and entire, to Christ our king.

Glory to God in the highest!

Suscipe, Domine, universam meam libertatem. Accipe memoriam, intellectum, atque voluntatem omnem. Quidquid habeo vel possideo mihi largitus es; id tibi totum restituo, ac tuae prorsus voluntati trado gubernandum. Amorem tui solum cum gratia tua mihi dones, et dives sum satis, hec aliud quidquam ultra posco.

Receive, O Lord, all my liberty. Take my memory, my understanding, and my entire will. Whatsoever I have or possess Thou hast bestowed upon me; I give it all back to Thee and surrender it wholly to be governed by Thy Will. Give me love for Thee alone along with Thy grace, and I am rich enough and ask for nothing more.
