Vincentian Prayer

Bill Johnson at a workshop thing a couple of days ago prayed this prayer. I really like it:

Divine Savior,
transform me into yourself.
May my hands be your hands.
May my tongue be your tongue.
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 you.

I pray you to destroy in me all that is not of you.
Grant that I may live but in you and by you and for you,
that I may truly say with Saint Paul, "I live, now not I,
but Christ lives in me."
Amen.
