It has long been the habit of many Catholics to dedicate their day to God as soon as they awake. Beginning with the sign of the cross, a simple prayer of trust in God places the whole day in his hands. It is important that we pray daily so that the relationship of prayer is sustained, and making a morning offering sets the whole day in the context of God’s call to us and our response.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart, in union with the holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in thanksgiving for your favours, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.
