Morning prayers should comprise adoration of the Divine Majesty, thanksgiving for His protection during the night, and consecration of the day to God’s service.

On awakening, make the Sign of the Cross, and rising from your bed, say:

In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified, I arise. May He bless my work, govern my every action and preserve me from harm this day.

Kneeling down put yourself in the presence of God, realizing that He is anxious to hear and help you.

Free my mind, O Lord, from all distracting thoughts, and enable me to pray at all times with attention and devotion, so that I may deserve to be heard by Thee. I offer Thee my prayers in union with that divine intention with which Thou Thyself, while on earth, didst render praises to God.

Acts of Adoration

Blessed be the holy and undivided Trinity, now and forevermore.

Unto the King of ages, the immortal, invisible, and only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.

I thank Thee, O my Father, for the innumerable favors and benefits which I have received from Thy loving kindness and mercy, especially for having preserved me this night.

Glory be to the Father Who has created me, glory be to the Son Who has redeemed me, glory be to the Holy Ghost Who has sanctified me.

Morning Offering

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 intentions of all our Associates and in particular for the intention of the Apostleship of Prayer.
