Morning and Evening Prayers

Morning prayer

(On waking, pray every morning of your life: )

“Oh Lord, I am born now from the womb of sleep.

I am determined to carry out all tasks this day as offerings to Thee, with Thee ever present before my mind’s eye.

Make my words, thoughts, and deeds sacred and pure.

Let me not inflict pain on anyone; let no one inflict pain on me.

Direct me, guide me, this day.”

Catholic Morning Prayers

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 reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ I will begin this day. I thank you, Lord, for having preserved me during the night. I will do my best to make all I do today pleasing to You and in accordance with Your will. My dear mother Mary, watch over me this day. My Guardian Angel, take care of me. St. Joseph and all you saints of God, pray for me.
