Urteil
Es steht nicht im Werk von Ignatius of Loyola
A maxim from Gabriel Hevenesi's Scintillae Ignatianae (Vienna, 1705), with no literal counterpart in Ignatius's writings. It circulates in an inverted, simplified version ('Pray as if everything depended on God and work as if everything depended on you') that loses the paradox of the Latin original. It may sum up his spirit, but it is not his quotation.
