This prayer, written by Saint Loyola, hits at the core of Christian service. Often people think of generosity as giving material things or helping the needy. However, we bless others in how we approach our work each day. The prayer for generosity addresses the attitude in which we serve.
Prayer for Generosity
;
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.
Amen.
St. Ignatius Loyola
1491 -1556
