The Rosary is what I always go back to. It is the prayer that I turn to when I don't know what to pray. It opens the passageways of my spirit and lets in what God wants me to absorb. It softens my heart against cynicism and despair and unites my prayer with Our Lady's.

Take Lord, All My Liberty
This song, Take Lord, Receive, is a prayer by St. Ignatius Loyola also called the Susipe Prayer or the Offering of One's self. This version is by John Foley and was surprisingly difficult to find on YouTube.
Here is an English translation of the prayer from the Latin:
Receive, O Lord, all my liberty. Take my memory, my understanding, and my entire will. Whatsoever I have or possess Thou hast bestowed upon me; I give it all back to Thee and surrender it wholly to be governed by Thy Will. Give me love for Thee alone along with Thy grace, and I am rich enough and ask for nothing more.

Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival
Sunday Snippets is brought to you each week by RAnn at This, That and the Other Thing.I began the week with a meditation on a quote from St. Ignatius of Antioch about we as Christians being God bearers (Theotokos) with Our Lady, followed by an Orthodox Lenten Meditation from YouTube and an Eastern Catholic Lenten reading list. I wound up the week by highlighting three new blogs: Vivificat, Fasting and Feasting Through the Church Year, and Catholic Home and Garden.
