Nora Eckert

Prayer of St. Ignatius - Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my entire will. You have given me whatever I am or possess. I give it back to you to be entirely subject to your will. Only give me your love and your grace. With these I am rich enough and ask for nothing more. Amen
