Morning Thanksgiving and Consecration MY Lord and my God! in union with all thy elect in heaven and on earth, I adore thee, I love thee, I praise and thank thee, for all the benefits of nature and grace, general and particular, which I have received from thy infinite goodness and liberality: principally for having created me to thy image and likeness, preserved me to this day, and given thy only begotten Son to suffer death for me on the cross, and to wash away my sins in his most precious blood. I thank thee for having called me to the true faith and religion of the holy Catholic and Apostolic Church—for having so often pardoned me my sins, and preserved me during this last night from a sudden death, and from all the other dangers which might have befallen me, had I not been protected by thy merciful and watchful Providence. Alas! my God, how shall I acknowledge all these favours? I, who am nothing, have nothing, and can do nothing, without thy gracious assistance. I wish I could make thee an offering of gratitude and love proportionate to thy benefits; but as thou knowest my poverty and weakness, I beseech thee to receive, as the only sacrifice of thanksgiving I have to offer, an oblation which I now make of my body, with all its senses; my soul, with all its faculties; my heart, with all its desires. I specially consecrate to thee, in union with the infinite merits of Jesus Christ, every thought, word, and action of this day; firmly purposing, with the assistance of thy grace, not to think, say, or do any thing, but what may tend to thy greater glory, and the sanctification of my soul. Amen.
