O glorious Patriarch, Saint Ignatius, we humbly beseech thee to obtain for us from Almighty God, above all things else, deliverance from sin, which is the greatest of evils, and next, the grace of final perseverance and everlasting happiness (mention your request).
May thine example enkindle in our hearts an effectual desire to employ ourselves continually in laboring for the greater glory of God and the good of our fellow-men.
Amen.
When to pray
On July 31 (feast of Saint Ignatius), during spiritual retreats, at important decisions, or when seeking greater fidelity to Christ.
