1 Corinthians 8 4-6


So about the eating associated with the idols-
we know that:
‘an idol is nothing in the (real or my?) world’,
and that
‘there is no god, but one.’
If after all, there are those said to be gods,
whether in heaven or on earth
-as indeed there are many gods and many lords…
but for us
there is one God, the Father,
from whom are all things,
and we are unto him
and one Lord Jesus Christ
through whom are all things
and through whom we are.

Teach us, good Lord,
to serve thee as thou deservest;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do thy will,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

St Ignatius
