Blessed are those who have been persecuted because of righteousness,
because theirs is the Kingdom of the Heavens. 

Blessed are you when they insult you,
and they persecute you
and say all kinds evil against you
and because of me. 

Rejoice and be glad, because your reward is great in heaven.
For in this way they persecuted  the prophets before you. 

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
