Rise + Shine

Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go.
Flood my soul with Your spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly,
That 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 Jesus!
Stay with me and then I 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 mine;
It will be you, shining on others through me.
Let me thus praise You the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
Let me preach You without preaching, not by words but by my example,
By the catching force of the sympathetic influence of what I do,
The evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You.

- Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman (Saint Teresa of Calcutta prayed the above prayer every day with her sisters after receiving the Eucharist.)

Reflect

Today too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others. To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love, is to open up a horizon of hope; it is to let a shaft of light break through the heavy clouds; it is to bring the warmth of hope!

Pope Francis (source)

Listen

For musical inspiration for your restful Sunday, listen to our BIS Rests playlist.

I recommend praying with “Shine Through Us” by Danielle Rose (inspired by the prayer above).

Curated by Elise Howe. Find out more about her here.
