MORNING PRAYERS In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Blessed be the Holy Trinity, One God, now and forever. Amen. Glory to the Father, Who created me; glory to the Son, Who redeemed me; glory to the Holy Ghost Who sanctifieth me. ACT OF ADORATION AND THANKSGIVING Almighty and eternal God, I adore Thee, and I thank Thee for all the benefits which Thou, in Thy infinite goodness and mercy, hast conferred upon me. I thank Thee especially for having preserved and protected me this night. ACT OF FAITH I believe in Thee, because Thou art Truth itself, and, as Thou hast revealed them to her, I believe all the sacred truths which the holy Catholic Church believes and teaches. ACT OF HOPE I hope in Thee, because Thou art omnipotent, most merciful, and faithful to Thy promises; I hope to obtain the pardon of my sins, the grace to live a holy life, to die a happy death, and to obtain life ever-lasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. ACT OF LOVE I love Thee with my whole heart, and above all things, because Thou art infinitely good; and for the love of Thee I love my neighbor as myself. ACT OF SUPPLICATION I beseech Thee most earnestly to bless me, that I may serve Thee faithfully this day by a perfect devotedness to all my duties and a steadfast adherence to all my promises and good resolutions. ACT OF CONTRITION I am truly sorry for having sinned because Thou art infinitely good and sin displeases Thee. I will avoid the occasions of sin and strive in all things to do Thy holy will. ACT OF CONSECRATION I wish to consecrate this day and all the days of my life to Thy honor and glory. OFFERING I offer Thee all my prayers, works, and sufferings in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for the intentions for which He pleads and offers Himself in the holy sacrifice of the Mass, in thanksgiving for Thy favors, in reparation for my offenses, and in humble supplication for my temporal and eternal welfare, for the wants of our holy Mother the Church, for the conversion of sinners, and for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory. I have the intention to gain all the indulgences attached to the prayers I shall say, and to the good works I shall perform this day. I resolve to gain all the indulgences I can in favor of the souls in purgatory. Our Father, Hail Mary, Apostles’ Creed, Glory. EJACULATIONS DURING THE DAY Sweet Heart of my Jesus, grant that I may ever love Thee more. Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like unto Thine. Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love! Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation! Hail Mary, etc. My Queen! my Mother! I give thee all myself, and, to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to thee my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my entire self. Wherefore, O loving Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, defend me, as thy property and possession. Most high Queen of the universe, Mary ever Virgin, make intercession for our peace and salvation, thou who didst bear Christ the Lord, the Saviour of all mankind. St. Joseph, model and patron of those who love the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us! PRAYER TO OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love commits me here, ever this day (or night) be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen. All ye holy angels and saints of God, and especially you, my dear patron saint, pray for me! May the Lord bless me, preserve me from all evil, and bring me to life everlasting. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. MORNING OFFERING OF THE APOSTLESHIP OF PRAYER O Jesus, through the immaculate heart of Mary, I offer Thee my prayers, works, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Thy sacred Heart, in union with the holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intention of all our associates, and in particular for the intention recommended this month by the Holy Father. Supplication to Spend the Day Meritorously My dear and sweet Mother Mary, Co-Redemptrix of the human race, keep me in thy holy protection. Guard my mind, my heart and my senses, that I be not stained by sin. Sanctify my thoughts, desires, words, and actions, that I may please thee and thy Jesus, my God, and gain Paradise with thee. Jesus and Mary, give me Thy most holy blessing. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
