Though Ignatius was in constant and close touch
with the Lord, he never presumed like the Martha of the Gospel of Luke to tell
the Lord what to do. Rather, like an attentive student before his Master, he
was always listening and discerning what the Lord wanted him to do. His one
desire in life was to constantly do God’s will, and in his famous prayer “Take
and Receive” which has now become a popular hymn, he prayed only for God’s love
and grace for which he was willing to forgo everything else.
Through the intercession of St. Ignatius we pray
for the grace to make God’s will coincide with ours rather than try to make our
will coincide with God’s.
