慈爱的天主：
正值纪念圣依纳爵皈依之年，我们来到祢面前，向祢祈求特别的恩宠。
我们记得邦布罗纳之役，依纳爵的勇敢，他的无畏，他与同袍相处的能力。
我们记得他的伤口；他破碎的梦想；他可见的失败；他身体的软弱；他返回罗耀拉的漫长日子里，努力探索心灵找寻他的人生道路，终于，他的生命降服于祢，因为透过阅读、梦想、祈祷和想像力，听见祢的声音在对他说话。
我们记得他往茫莱撒的旅程；他内心的挣扎；他渴望接触他人，帮助人灵找到祢复活圣子的安慰。
我们今天依然祈求祢，上主，更新我们身上的依纳爵精神。
愿我们越来越像他一样地完全信靠圣神，亦步亦趋，忠实地跟随。
愿我们拥有他的分辨能力、他的勇气、他的脆弱、他的寻求友谊；他对年轻人的开放，且渴望与他们分享他的智慧。
愿我们学习他勇往直前的无畏，就算这意谓著有时会犯错。
上主，请赐给我们他的使徒热忱，深爱这个美丽却破碎的世界。
上主，请帮助我们抛开狭隘的观点，摒除我们对自己、对他人、以及对世界先入为主的成见，以全新的眼光看待一切。
请帮助我们更深入地活出依纳爵特恩，在基督内得见崭新的一切，即使在黑暗痛苦中，得见祢的恩宠在工作。
愿依纳爵年帮助我们认识贫穷又谦卑的耶稣，为了能更深切地爱慕祂，更紧密地跟随祂。
我们请求道路之母的代祷。愿她帮助我们与祢的圣子耶稣同行，把我们的手放在祂的手中，迈开步伐，每一天，带着冒险、爱和希望走入世界。
阿们。
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.
