Ignatian Prayer

• Lord Jesus,
• Teach me to be generous.
• Teach me to serve you as you deserve
• To give and not to count the cost,
• To fight and not to heed the wounds,
• To toil and not to seek for rest,
• To labor and not to seek reward,
• Except that of knowing that I do your will.
• Nuestra Señora de Belén

CHRISTMAS PRAYER

• O Lord, as we prepare for your birthday,
• Please take care of your children,
• Especially those less fortunate than we are.
• Please remind us of the true meaning of
  Christmas,
• Which is to appreciate the blessings you have
  given us,
• And to give rather than to receive.
• Lord, also remind us how to live as Christians
• By living our lives the way you did,
• Which means to treat one another
• as we would like to be treated.
• And, finally, Lord, please especially bless my
  family,
• my friends, my relatives and me this
  Christmas
• Because around this time of year we need
• All the extra strength you can give us.
• Thank you, Lord, and happy birthday.
• Amen.
