Mother Teresa's Missional Prayer...

"The purpose of God is not to answer our prayers, but by our prayers we come to discern the mind of God..."  Oswald Chamber

With that in mind Mother Teresa's prayer is missional dynamite!


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 shall 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 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
