Origin

When I googled the "Fragrance Prayer" to get more information on its origin and author, the common results I got were:
A)Fragrance Prayer the song, popularized by Tom Booth and
B) Fragrance Prayer the prayer, which was adapted by Blessed Mother Teresa and her Daughters of Charity congregation

I went further to look on other results and that led me to the 3rd item, the Radiating Christ by Cardinal Newman. Yes, this was the original title of the Fragrance Prayer and just one of the many collection of prayers by Cardinal Newman. Of course, I have to check who is Cardinal Newman. His name sounds familiar, but not enough info to share it with everyone. So I googled further and here are my findings:

Known as Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman and as the Father of the Vatican II, was an English convert to Catholism. He took delight in reading the Bible and other great novels and skeptical works of his time, which later on led to his conversion.

Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801- 1890) was an Oxford scholar and prominent Anglican preacher when he joined the Oxford Movement in the 1830s. By 1840 he had begun expressing doubts about the Church of England, and withdrew from Anglican ministry; in 1845 he was received into the Catholic Church. His Apologia Pro Vita Sua, explaining his spiritual journey, is among the classics of Catholic autobiography.

Newman was the leading Catholic intellectual and controversialist in England during the 19th century, writing influential works such as Grammar of Assent and The Idea of the University. Although he was never a bishop, in 1879 he was raised by Pope Leo XIII to the College of Cardinals. In 1991 he was declared "Venerable" by Pope John Paul II (bio - news), leaving the recognition of a miracle as the only remaining requirement for his beatification.
