Grant me, O Lord, to see everything now with new eyes,to discern and test the spirits that help me read the signs of the times,to relish the things that are yours, and to communicate them to others.Give me the clarity of understanding that you gave Ignatius.
—Pedro Arrupe

7 Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,
9 you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
Psalm 148 – English Standard Version
