“Cloister Echoes” On the
Divine Indwelling by Sister Mildred Mary Ephrem Neuzil
O Mary, Immaculate Queen,
You who were always
conscious Of the Presence of God within you,
Obtain for me the grace
Of an ever-increasing awareness
Of the Indwelling Trinity
Abiding in my soul.
May this Divine Doctrine
So penetrate my heart
That I may realize, in
truth,
I am the veritable house
of God
Sheltering within myself
The Divine Being
Who is the Source of all
sanctity
And holy living.
May I never forget that
I Am the living temple of
God.
Help
me, then, O peerless Virgin,
To be
ever mindful of my dignity.
Let me
remember also that all,
Even
the most derelict of men,
Were
redeemed by the same God,
And
are, therefore, worthy
Of my
respect and honor.
Obtain
for me also
That
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
The
Fountain Head of grace,
May
exercise so great an influence
Upon my
life,
That I
may become, as it were,
Another
Savior,
Going
about, doing good.
May I
too, carry Christ,
As you
carried Him, O faithful Virgin,
And
thus become a means
Of
repentance and greater holiness to others.
May I
be a channel of grace
To
those to whom grace, perhaps,
Would
never be able to penetrate.
May the
Hand of the Father,
Who
created me,
Work
through me.
And may
the voice of the Word,
Become
Man,
Who
redeemed me,
Speak
through me.
May
the Love of the Holy Spirit,
Who is
my continuous sanctification,
Bring
holiness to others through me.
Amen.
