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 soul. 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 that you love best by shining on those around us. Let us preach you with preaching: not by words but by our example, by the catching force, by sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to you. Amen. ***** Fr. Wade Menezes, author of Stand Firm, Be Strong [https://www.amazon.com/Stand-Firm-Strong-Devotional-Scripture/dp/1682784118/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XKRBR8R657Z2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.15Cjtb4sNWMZiuacdBEKLrHrJ0gH5xKcW3aMGW1lSdOQWeH6WTzmpcZCjxoamG_pP9FrMIh64EHOkAyOLarsU5xxxacs3a03kwDsaq5pIvCpvoC3f1DL_DAvv5C_-hoA.KErQjW8Vubqc9e2tmBNRQ1DYL33UZnk1OWbexmh2dTQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=fr%2Bwade%2Bmenezes%2Bbooks&qid=1781599409&sprefix=fr%2Bwade%2Bmeneze%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1] Danny Flynn is online at catholicliberaleducation.com.
