Prayer by J.H.Newman: "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 thine; none of it will be mine; it will be you, shining on others through me. Let me thus praise you in 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, the sympathetic influence of what I do; the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to you. Amen.
