With the theme “In the beginning, there was love,” the San Antonio de Padua Parish (SAPP) youth spent time in prayer, silence, and special reflections for January’s Holy Hour session.

Our parish priest, Fr. Kevin Luther C. Crisostomo, followed this with a formation talk that centered on the prayer theme of generosity. He reminded the youth to always have generous hearts through prayer and trust. From this, he encouraged everyone to turn to St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Prayer of Generosity as a constant guide to be selfless and to be of loving service to God and others.

Prayer to Generosity by St. Ignatius of Loyola
"Dearest 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 most holy will.
Amen.”
