A Prayer of Mother Teresa
Friend of the poor and needy...
Dear Jesus, help us to spread your fragrance everywhere we go.
Flood our souls with your spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly that our lives may only be a radiance of yours.
Shine through us, and be so in us, that every soul we come in contact with may feel your presence in our soul.
Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus!
Stay with us, and then
we shall begin to shine as you shine; so to shine as to be a
light to others.
The light, O Jesus
will be all from you, none of it will be ours;
Let us thus praise you in the way you love
best by shining on those
around us.
Let us preach you
without preaching, not by words but by our example, by the catching force,
the sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness
of the love our hearts bear to you.
Amen
