Morning and Night

Morning Offering

This prayer comes from the Apostleship of Prayer, founded in France in 1844 by the Jesuit Fr Francois-Xavier Gautrelet (today the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network). It turns the whole day, even the dull and painful parts, into a prayer.

The prayer

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee my prayers, works, joys 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 intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intention recommended this month by the Holy Father. Amen.

Pray it this week

Say the Morning Offering every morning this week before you check your phone, and look up the Pope's prayer intention for this month.
