Radiating Christ
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 souls.
Let them look up,
and see no longer us, but only Jesus!
Stay with us …More
Radiating Christ
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 souls.
Let them look up,
and see no longer us, but only Jesus!
Stay with us and then we will 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,
in the way You love best,
by shining on those around us.
Let us preach You without preaching,
not by words but by example,
by the catching force,
the sympathetic influence of what we do,
the evident fullness of the love
our hearts bear for You.
Amen.
