While in Calcutta I prayed this with the Missionaries of Charity every morning after mass to start my day. It's a wonderful way to remember and realize that you are a witness to Christ. It's wonderfully humbling and reminds you that you serve and live for His glory, and to constantly allow him to shine in you. Great for morning offering!
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;
It will be You shining on others through us.
Let us thus praise You in the way you love best, not by words but by our example.
By the catching force, the sympathetic influence of the love that comes from You. Amen.
