Master, Your life traces out the path for me; Your teachings confirm and light up my steps; Your grace strengthens and sustains me along the journey to heaven. You are the perfect Master. You teach and give example and encouragement to us, the disciples who follow You.
Master, You have the words of eternal life. Transform my mind and my thoughts with Yours. You enlighten every person, and You are Truth itself; I want to reason things out only as You taught, to think as You think. Live in my mind, O Jesus Truth.
Your life is the way, the only secure and true way. In the stable, at Nazareth, on Calvary, You traced out for us the divine path of love for the Father, of love for humanity; to the point of total sacrifice. Make me know Your way, and in every moment may I be able to place my feet in Your footsteps. Any other way is wide and is not Your way. I want what You want; transform my will into Yours.
Transform my heart with Your heart. Transform my love of God, of self, and of neighbor, with Your love. Transform my sinful human life with Your divine life. May this life manifest itself in all I do. “May the life of Christ be manifest in my body,” as it was in Saint Paul, who said “Christ lives in me”. Live in me, O Jesus, eternal and substantial life.
