22. THE PRAYER OF SAINT JOHN GABRIEL PERBOYRE

O my Divine Saviour,
Transform me into Yourself.
May my hands be the hands of Jesus. May my tongue be the tongue Of Jesus. Grant that every faculty of my body May serve only to glorify you.
Above all,
Transform my soul and all its powers So that my memory, will and affections May be the memory, will and affections Of Jesus.

I. pray You
To destroy in me
All that is not of You.
Grant that I may live
But in You, by You and for You, So that I may truly say,
With St. Paul,
" I live - now not I -
But Christ lives in me. "
