Morning Offering Composed by St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Deus meus!
Offero tibi hodie omnes actiones meas pro intentionibus et ad gloriam Sacratissimi Cordis Iesu.
Sanctificare cupio omnem cordis mei pulsum, omnes cogitationes meas,
opera mea simplicissima,
ea meritis eius infinitis coniungendo;
ac pro peccatis meis satisfacere volo, ea in fornacem Misericordis Amoris eius proiciendo.
Deus meus!
A te peto pro me et pro iis quos caros habeo,
gratiam voluntatem tuam sanctam perfecte implendi,
et ob amorem tui huius vitae transientis gaudia et dolores acceptandi,
ut aliquando in caelis per omnem aeternitatem simul uniamur.
Amen.
O my God! I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.
O my God! I ask of Thee for myself and for those whom I hold dear, the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, to accept for love of Thee the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in heaven for all Eternity.
Amen.
