teacher, show us how to open our palm;
show us how to serve with you
to give to each according to their need
without expecting anything from you;
to struggle with our neighbour and not mind
what sufferings we must endure;
to ever toil without searching
for comfort in recompense;
to hope without expecting;
content in knowing
we are doing your will
a left-leaning english translation of the tagalog hymn Panalangin sa Pagiging Bukas-Palad, which is a translation of St. Ignatius iof Loyola’s Prayer for Generosity
