Suscipe



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, nec aliud quidquam ultra posco.

  2. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises kept me sane during a spell of trouble I had in the summer of 96.

    I prefer English, too, but I like the beauty of the Latin.
