And god said ‘Let there be light’
and there was light,
and god saw the light
that it was good
and god made a separation
between the light
and between the darkness.
and god called the light – day
and he called the darkness — night
and there was evening
and there was morning
-day one!
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
