O Jesus,
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 thee, Jesus. Amen.
This is an abbreviated version of Cardinal Newman's prayer that he used following the Eucharist. I learned about this prayer while in the sacristy at the seminary, it was fancied by one of our more Anglo-Catholic professors.
