So just as you received the Christ,
Jesus, the Lord,
continue to walk in him –
being firmly rooted
and (now) being built in him,
and being strengthened in the faith,
– as you have been taught.,
abounding in thanksgiving.
Watch that there is no-one
who takes you captive
through philosophy
that is empty deceit
derived from human traditions
about the elemental spirits of the universe
and not about Christ.
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
