Fragrance Prayer used by Mother Teresa

Every day I pray “Lord, give me the graces that i need to discern and live your will and to shine your divine light with joy.” The following prayer takes this concept to a much higher and beautiful level. This prayer was written by Saint Cardinal Newman and Saint Mother Teresa asked Missionaries of Charity sisters to pray it every day after receiving the Holy Eucharist.

Dear Lord, 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 all my life may only be a radiance of you. Shine through me, and be so in me that every soul that I come in contact with may feel your presence in my soul.
— Saint Cardinal John Henry Newman
