Morning Offering
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and
sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer
them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the
reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of
Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.

pains of hell, but most of all because they

deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve,
with the help of Thy grace, to confess my
sins, to do penance, and amend my life.
Amen
