How many times i have put my desire first, which prevent me from shining forth for Christ. Since, It is not for us to ignite the flame or supply the oil. All we have to do is to keep our lamp clean and bright, to guard against anything that may obstruct the outshining of the Love and Life of God through the soul.
O God, help me to shun from every appearance of evil, especially my weakness I know i cannot overcome. O Christ, may fire of Thy Divine Love burn up in my heart; help us to shine forth as lights in this dark world.
