MOTHER TERESE’S GO TO PRAYERS

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 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, 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.

MEMORARE;

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known

that anyone who fled to your protection,

implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence, we fly to you,

O Virgin of virgins, our Mother;

to you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful;

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions,

but in your clemency, hear and answer us.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed

art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,

 Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now,

and at the hour of our death.

Glory be, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.
