Lord Jesus, give us the courage of Saint Ignatius,
who remained faithful to You even when discipleship
demanded great sacrifice.
Help us never be ashamed of our faith or hesitant
to let Your love be visible in our lives.
Give us wisdom to speak of You with humility and kindness.
May our words and actions encourage those who are searching,
strengthen those who are discouraged, and remind others
that Christ is always near.
Amen.
