Today is the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola, priest and founder of the Jesuits.

You can read his Spiritual Exercises online.

Several famous prayers were composed by St. Ignatius; this is one of them:

Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess You have given me: I surrender it all to You to be disposed of according to Your will. Give me only Your love and Your grace; with these I will be rich enough, and will desire nothing more.
