Today, St Ignatius is well known for his ‘Spiritual Exercises’, which have enriched the lives of so many across the world. There is also his prayer, which you may like to pray today: ‘Teach us, good Lord, to serve thee as Thou deservest; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not for seek for rest; to labour and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do Thy will’.

May St Ignatius pray for us, and may God bless you this day.
