I wrote these things about those [engaged] in deceiving you,
and as for you:
the anointing that you received from him
remains in you all
and you do not have a need
for anyone to teach you all.
But as his anointing teaches you about all things,
-and is true
and is not false-
just as he taught you-
remain in him.
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
