Morning Offering [back to top of page] [back to Family page]
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart; the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our Bishops and of all our associates, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month. Amen!

O God, I adore You, and I love You with all my heart. I thank You for having created me and saved me by Your grace, and for having preserved me during this day. I pray that You will take for Yourself whatever good I might have done this day, and that You will forgive me whatever evil I have done. Protect me this night, and may Your grace be with me always. Amen!
Act of Contrition [back to top of page] [back to Family page]
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins, because of your just punishments, but most of all because they offend You, my God, who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen!

Prayer for Courage [back to top of page] [back to Family page]
Lord Jesus, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve You as You deserve; to give and not count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek reward, except that of knowing that I do Your will. Amen!
My Gift [back to top of page] [back to Family page]
Lord, I freely yield all my freedom to you. Take my memory, my intellect, and my entire will. You have given me everything I am to have; I give it all back to you to stand under your will alone. Your love and your grace are enough for me. I shall ask for nothing more. Amen!
Prayer for Peace [back to top of page] [back to Family page]
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope. where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen!
