Mother Teresa's Commencement address at Harvard University, 1982

As the new graduates go out, I thought that the prayer of Cardinal Newman is most fitting for them, so that, in going into the world, they go with Jesus, they work for Jesus, and serve him in distressing guise of the poor. Dear Jesus, help us to spread your fragrance everywhere we go. Flood our souls with your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly that all our lives may only be so in us that every person we should come in contact with may feel your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus.

- From Mother Teresa's Commencement
address at Harvard University, 1982

This prayer is still fitting today for all of us. It doesn't matter if you are starting a new phase in your life with college, the work force, or a move to a new state. In whatever we do and wherever we go, my prayer is that we take Jesus with us in our heart and soul. The light of his word and presence will illuminate out of us so that the world may see his glory and love through us. My biggest life lesson and I believe the most important life lesson overall is this - learning to love and be loved unconditionally.
