Morning Offering to the Sacred Heart

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. "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship." — Romans 12:1 Lord, this is the Morning Offering — one of the oldest and most powerful prayers in the Catholic tradition. For centuries, believers have begun their day by placing everything in Your hands. I join that tradition now.
