St. Ignatius of Loyola
Day 1
July 31st.
-
O glorious St. Ignatius, who, on reading the lives of Saints, resolved to imitate them, renouncing for ever all worldly pomp, and seeking nothing but the greater glory of God: obtain for us also an efficacious resolution to practise all divine virtues, and like you, freed from all earthly love, to desire nothing but to see our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ glorified throughout the whole world. Gloria.
-
O glorious St. Ignatius, who, after your conversion to the Lord, so macerated your body with vigils, fasts, disciplines, hair-shirts, and other similar austerities; obtain for us also the grace to look upon our body as our enemy, and by continual mortification at length to cancel the heavy debt to the Divine Justice which we by our sins have contracted. Gloria.
-
O glorious St. Ignatius, who when tempted to moderate your fervour, and to change your manner of life, instead of listening to the suggestions of the enemy, redoubled your austerities, for which you merited to receive a visit from the most holy Virgin Mary; obtain for us the grace to persevere until death in practice of penance, not listening to the seducing voice of our spiritual enemy, so that we may merit like you, if not in this world, at least after death, to obtain the glorious and beatific vision of the whole celestial choir. Gloria.
-
O glorious St. Ignatius, who, resolving to imitate with perfection, the poverty, the humility, and the patience of Jesus Christ, renounced all the comforts of your home to live on alms, took up your abode in hospitals, covered your body with sackcloth, and joyfully suffered yourself to be accused as a heretic and a sorcerer, and as such proceeded against by the highest authorities; obtain for us the grace of living so detached from all the things of the world, and of enduring so tranquilly all its persecutions, that we may be indeed dear disciples and true imitators of Jesus Christ. Gloria.
-
O glorious St. Ignatius, who through the instrumentality of your society, hast converted innumerable souls to God, and in some measure repaired the ruin caused by heresy and evil customs: obtain for us the grace to be always ready to make any sacrifice to convert souls to God, and to promote the glory of His Church; that we also may at length share in that blessedness which is promised to those who hunger and thirst after justice. Gloria.
