Ave Maria Meditations
O my Divine Savior, 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, that my memory, my will and my affections may be the memory, the will and the affections of Jesus.
I pray Thee to destroy in me all that is not of You. Grant that I may live but in You and by You and for You and that I may truly say with Saint Paul, “I live, now not I, but Christ lives in me.”
Direct, we beg you, O Lord, all our actions by Your holy inspirations, and carry them on by Your gracious assistance, that every prayer and work of ours may begin always with You, and through You be happily ended. Amen.
