[quote] Contemplation to Attain Love (Ignatian)

St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556)

Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, all my liberty
Receive my memory, my understanding,and my whole will
Whatever I have and possess,You have given me
to You I restore it wholly,
and to Your will I utterly surrender it for my direction
Give me the love of You only,with Your grace, and I am rich enough
nor do I ask anything besides

Ambillah Tuhan dan terimalah seluruh kemerdekaanku
ingatanku, pikiranku dan segenap kehendakku
segala kepunyaan dan milikku Engkaulah yang memberikan
pada-Mu Tuhan kukembalikan.
Semuanya milik-Mu, pergunakan sekehendak-Mu.
Berilah aku cinta dan rahmat-Mu,
cukup itu bagiku.

Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam

(For the greater glory of God)

Lagi bongkar2 file lama, dan nemu doa ini di halaman persembahan skripsi – The First Point is to bring to memory the benefits received, of Creation, Redemption, and particular gifts, pondering with much feeling how much God our Lord has done for me, and how much He has given me of what He has; and then the same Lord desires to give me Himself as much as He can, according to His Divine design. And with this to reflect, within myself, considering with much reason and justice what I ought on my part to offer and give to His Divine Majesty, namely all things I possess and myself with them
