help us to spread your fragrance

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 light to others.

The light, O Jesus, will be all from you.

None of it will be ours.

It will be your shining on others through us.

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

...a prayer of Mother Teresa
