31st July - Saint Ignatius of Loyola
God freely created us so that we might know, love, and serve him in this life and be happy with him forever. God's purpose in creating us is to draw forth from us, a response of love and service here on earth, so that we may attain our goal of everlasting happiness with him in heaven.
O my God, teach me to be generous to serve you as you deserve to be served, to give without counting the cost, to fight without fear of being wounded, to work without seeking rest, and to spend myself without expecting any reward, but the knowledge that I am doing your holy will. Amen - Saint Ignatius of Loyola
