Take, Lord, Receive (Suscipe)

St. Ignatius of Loyola

English

Receive, Lord, all my liberty,
Take my memory, my understanding, and my entire will.
All I have and call my own, You have given all to me;
I give it all back to You
and surrender it wholly to be governed by Your will.
Give me only Your love and Your grace,
and I am rich enough and ask for nothing more.

Latin

Suscipe, Domine, universam meam libertatem.
Accipe memoriam, intellectum atque voluntatem omnem.
Quidquid habeo vel possideo, mihi largitus es;
id tibi totum restituo,
ac tuae prorsus voluntati trado gubernandum.
Amorem tui solum cum gratia tua mihi dones,
et dives sum satis, nec aliud quidquam ultra posco.
