Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
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 labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.

- St. Ignatius of Loyola

(P.S. Sorry to have been AWOL for the past few days; we had a conference in my department and I was commenting on a paper. I’ve got some things queued up to go out soon, though – and also some exciting blog-related news about to come down the wire.)
