Possess my whole being . . .

Dear Lord,

Help me spread your fragrance wherever I go.
Flood my soul with your Spirit and Life.
Penetrate me; possess my whole being so utterly all my life may only be a radiance of yours.
Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel your presence in my soul.
Let them look up and see no longer me, but only you o Lord!
Let me preach you without preaching, not by words but by example.
By catching the force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to you.

Amen

A daily prayer of Mother Theresa
