St. Ignatius and Mark Hollis

What does one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century have in common with the most militant Catholic of the sixteenth century?  Quite a bit, it seems.

Prayer of St. Ignatius                                                   

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace.
That is enough for me.

Mark Hollis.
Mark Hollis.

Talk Talk, Wealth

Create upon my flesh
Create approach upon my breath
Bring me salvation if I fear
Take my freedom

Create upon my breath
Create reflection on my flesh
The wealth of love
Bear me a witness to the years
Take my freedom

Create upon my flesh
Create a home within my head
Take my freedom for giving me a sacred love

    wonderful and unique , how much material thing don’t make us happy.We feel emptiness inside of us. You need someone to feel understood and something to hold on.
