| Summary: | The article argues that the concluding sentence of the popular prayer of St. Ignatius Loyola (d.1556), "Take, Lord, Receive," was interpreted by the Saint himself and his translator and contemporary, André des Freux, as a petition for the gift of the love of God in the sense of our love for God rather than God's love for us. It argues further that this sense was rendered fully explicit by the twentieth-century commentator Édouard Gueydan. Finally, recognizing the achievement of these two theologians, it recommends the general adoption of their version of the prayer. |
