慈愛的天主：
正值紀念聖依納爵皈依之年，我們來到祢面前，向祢祈求特別的恩寵。
我們記得邦布羅納之役，依納爵的勇敢，他的無畏，他與同袍相處的能力。
我們記得他的傷口；他破碎的夢想；他可見的失敗；他身體的軟弱；他返回羅耀拉的漫長日子裡，努力探索心靈找尋他的人生道路，終於，他的生命降服於祢，因為透過閱讀、夢想、祈禱和想像力，聽見祢的聲音在對他說話。
我們記得他往茫萊撒的旅程；他內心的掙扎；他渴望接觸他人，幫助人靈找到祢復活聖子的安慰。
我們今天依然祈求祢，上主，更新我們身上的依納爵精神。
願我們越來越像他一樣地完全信靠聖神，亦步亦趨，忠實地跟隨。
願我們擁有他的分辨能力、他的勇氣、他的脆弱、他的尋求友誼；他對年輕人的開放，且渴望與他們分享他的智慧。
願我們學習他勇往直前的無畏，就算這意謂著有時會犯錯。
上主，請賜給我們他的使徒熱忱，深愛這個美麗卻破碎的世界。
上主，請幫助我們抛開狹隘的觀點，摒除我們對自己、對他人、以及對世界先入為主的成見，以全新的眼光看待一切。
請幫助我們更深入地活出依納爵特恩，在基督內得見嶄新的一切，即使在黑暗痛苦中，得見祢的恩寵在工作。
願依納爵年幫助我們認識貧窮又謙卑的耶穌，為了能更深切地愛慕祂，更緊密地跟隨祂。
我們請求道路之母的代禱。願她幫助我們與祢的聖子耶穌同行，把我們的手放在祂的手中，邁開步伐，每一天，帶著冒險、愛和希望走入世界。
阿們。
Loving God,
We come before You asking for Your special grace as we go through the year dedicated to the memory of the conversion of Saint Ignatius.
We remember the battle of Pamplona, the bravery of Ignatius, his recklessness, his ability to relate to his comrades. We remember his wound; his broken dreams; his apparent failure; the vulnerability of his health; his return to Loyola and the long days of soul searching to try to find his way in life, finally surrendering his life to You as he listened to Your voice speaking to him through his reading, his dreams, his prayers and his imagination. We remember his journey to Manresa; his inner struggles; his desire to reach out to others, helping souls to discover the consolation of Your Risen Son. We ask, Lord, that You renew, also today, Ignatius’ spirit in us.
May we grow closer to his total trust in the Holy Spirit, following Him faithfully, neither running ahead or falling behind. May we make our own his ability to discern, his courage, his vulnerability, his search for companionship; his openness to young people and his desire to share with them his wisdom. May we learn from his fearlessness in going forward even if it meant, sometimes, making mistakes. Grant, Lord, that we may be on fire with his apostolic zeal and full of love for this beautiful but broken world.
Help us, Lord to set aside our narrow views, our preconceptions of ourselves, of each other, of our world and to see everything with new eyes. Help us to live ever more deeply the Ignatian charism of seeing all things new in Christ, of seeing Your grace at work, even in darkness and suffering. May this Ignatian Year help us to know Jesus poor and humble, to love Him more dearly, and follow Him more closely.
We ask the intercession of Our Lady of the Way. May she help us journey with Your Son, Jesus, putting our hand in His, stepping out, every day, into the world with a sense of adventure, of love and hope.
Amen.
