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. "

In the same year that St. Francis Regis Clet was martyred in China, 1821, a young countryman of his, John Gabriel Perboyre, entered the Novitiate of the Congregation of the Mission in Paris. He not only had St. Clet as his model and hoped to follow in his footsteps by going to spread the Gospel in China, but also hoped to imitate him by being a martyr for the name of Jesus. In fact, after 20 years this happened in a most extraordinary way. Here is the interesting true story.
