And the rest of the above prayer is: Grant me to give to you and not to count the cost to fight for you and not to mind the wounds to labor and to ask for no reward except the knowledge that I serve my Lord.
Thank you for the first half of the prayer. I typed it into the web because I wasn’t sure who it was attributed to. I was pretty sure it was St. Ignatius. A beautiful prayer.
