(Letter to the sisters.)

Daily we pray "let them look up and see only Jesus," but how often we look in and see only Jesus in us? Do we see Him in using our eyes, mind, and heart, as His own? Are we so given to Him--that we find His eyes look through ours, His tongue speaking, His Hands working, His feet walking, His Heart loving? Do we really see Jesus in us?

You have to be in the world and yet not of the world. The light you give must be so pure, the love you love with must be so burning--the faith you believe with must be so convincing--that in seeing you they really see only Jesus. Your apostolate is so beautiful to give to Jesus. You can give Him, only if you have surrendered yourselves totally to Him.--Often, very often, I pray for you--that you may be the fruit of Christ's love in the world--that you may grow in holiness--so that in you Christ's joy may be fulfilled.

(Blessed Mother Teresa, Come Be My Light, p 232)
