This prayer asks God the Father for the grace to fulfill one's calling by following God's way of incarnate love and making God known to those served. It asks Jesus to allow copying him by taking from the Church and various sources like theology and journalism to convert into one's own flesh and blood to give to others as food for their journey to come to Jesus. Finally, it asks the Holy Spirit to transform the speaker to be a way, truth, and life for brothers and sisters.

Let me copy you, Jesus –
Let me take from the Church, the saints,
theology, literature, journalism,
as bread is taken from a baker…

…but convert it into my flesh and blood and
give it to those I serve and share with
them your food for the journey,
so that they will come to you.

6. Jesus
Let me
absorb your
life Jesus.
Let me live
you
so that others

you.
