Prayer of resignation

Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.

St Ignatius Loyola

Prayer against temptation and evil spirits

Ecce Crucem Domini

Behold the Cross of the Lord!
Be gone all evil powers!
The Lion of the tribe of Judah,
The root of David has conquered!
Alleluia!

Ascribed to St Anthony of Padua
