YES, I agree, I too would like to begin a Novena to Saint Ignatius Of Loyola, his feast day is on July 31st in the actual Roman calender. He is one of my favorite Saints, the second favorite AFTER Saint Thomas Aquinas. His Spiritual Exercises are a masterpiece for all times.
 
I am also looking for one. I’d have to begin it today in order to end on his feastday.

Here is a litany of Saint Ignatius:

This is probably the hardest to find novena I have ever run across…

**
St Ignatius of Loyola Novena Prayer**
(to be said for 9 days)

Holy Father Ignatius,
through the centuries millions must have known
the influence of your inspiration.
Our world today needs to find your secret
of finding God everywhere,
of putting Him first in our intention and endeavor,
of desiring nothing but what He wants,
of yearning for nothing but His love and grace.
Teach us the freedom that comes from committing ourselves
to God’s designs for a world laden with creative beauty
yet marred by our violent ways.
You knew that Christ was your companion
at every step of life.
You joined him in his ongoing work
for the salvation of us all.
Help us to find courage in his presence,
to feel that he works with and in us.
May God,
through the power of your prayer
give us peace and joy
and grant us our most intimate requests
in this Novena
if they be for His greater glory
and our greater good.

Amen.

** St. Ignatius Prayer - Living The Life of Jesus **

Let’s Take A Minute To Pray2.bp.blogspot.com/_5s_Hc6OyE8c/SD6M7DXtxPI/AAAAAAAAATw/-eDT2PztKFo/s320/CHRIST+THE+KING.jpg

St. Ignatius Prayer - Thanks to Joseph at Good Jesuit, Bad Jesuit for the post.

**
That I May Be Received Under the Standard of Our Divine King**

O Lord, behold me a suppliant praying before Thee.
I come to implore of Thee a grace which is repugnant to my nature and which I dread to obtain.
Alas, my heart is not indifferent: on the contrary,
it rebels at the thought of voluntary poverty, and the contempt of men.

It is to master my natural inclinations,
to vanquish self, and to conquer my heart,
to extinguish in it every spark of that self-love which
is not in accordance with the rule these exercises place before me,
that I entreat Thee to receive me under Thy standard.

May Thy Divine Majesty deign to shelter me beneath the folds of this Thy holy standard,
to give me the spirit of poverty and detachment,
and to call me even to the practice of actual and perfect poverty,
if such is Thy good pleasure.

Lord Jesus, in order that I may resemble Thee more closely,
grant me a share, I beseech Thee, in Thy humiliations,
and in the injustices that Thou didst meet with,
provided that I can bear them without committing any sin,
without ever displeasing, in any way,
Thy Divine Majesty.

O Blessed Virgin, Mother of my God, obtain for me from
Thy Divine Son the grace to be received and to march under His standard.

Hail Mary…

O Eternal Word, for the love Thou bearest our Lady,
Thy Blessed Mother, obtain for me from the Father the grace to be received
and to march under Thy standard.

Anima Christi…

O Father, for the love Thou bearest the most holy Virgin Mary,
for the sake of Thy Son, our Lord,
I beseech Thee to grant me the grace to be received
and to march under the standard of Jesus Christ.

**Our Father… **

** Great Day for Jesuits! **

July 31 — the Feast Day of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Priest (1491-1556)

A former military solider, St. Ignatius became a soldier for Christ and founded the Society of Jesus, (the “Jesuits”), whose motto is “Ad majorem Dei gloriam” (for the greater glory of God!) Happy feast day to all Jesuits.

I love this inspired prayer composed by St. Ignatius.

May all Christians have the courage to pray this and mean it, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls:

Lord, teach us 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, ***
saving that we know we do your holy will.

SAINT IGNATIUS HOLY WATER

In the Acts of his canonization more than two hundred miracles are credited to the mediation of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Even in our own days these marvels continue to be worked through his intercession.

Among the many practices of devotion in honor of Sating Ignatius, to which God has deigned to attach seemingly miraculous favors, the most widely known is the use of SAINT IGNATIUS HOLY WATER. Almighty God has visibly approved of this pious practice by granting the desires of those who made use of it with faith and confidence. Many and varied are the ills which have been either cured or relieved, by the use of this holy water in conjunction with prayer to Saint Ignatius. (see Novena to St. Ignatius, below)
Code:
     **NOVENA TO ST. IGNATIUS LOYOLA**
(to be said both morning and night for nine days)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father (three times).
(The Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus or the Litany of the Blessed Virgin may be added.)
V. Pray for us, O Holy Father, Saint Ignatius.
R. That we may be made worthy of the Promises of Christ.
Code:
Let us pray.
O God, who, for the increase of the greater glory of Thy Holy Name, hast been pleased by Blessed Ignatius to strengthen the Church militant with new help, grant that, aided by his prayers during our warfare on earth, we may so imitate his virtues as to be happily crowned with him in heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Etc. Amen.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, etc. Amen.
Code:
Let us pray.
O Thou, who dost vouchsafe Thy blessing to this holy water, that it may be a salutary remedy to the human race, grant by the intercession of Blessed Ignatius, whose relic or medal has been immersed in it, that whoever partakes of it may receive health of body and protection of soul. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Ignatius, pray for us and for all Jesuits!
