"For He so loved us that He gave His only begotten Son"
MEA Monthly Devotionals |
The Morning Offering Oh my God, I offer you all my prayers, works, and sufferings in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the intention of which He pleads and offers Himself at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In thanksgiving for Thy favors, in reparation for my offenses and in humble supplication for my temporal and eternal welfare for the wants of the Holy Mother, the church for the conversion of sinners and for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory. I wished to gain all the indulgences attached to the prayers, I shall say, and the good works in which I shall perform this day. Amen. |

Prayer to St. Joseph To thee, O blessed Joseph, do we have recourse in our tribulation, and having implored the help of the thrice-holy Spouse, we confidently invoke thy patronage also. By that charity where-with thou wast united to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by that fatherly affection with which thou didst embrace the Child Jesus, we beseech thee and we humbly pray, that thou wouldst look graciously upon the inheritance which Jesus Christ hast purchased by His Blood, and assist us in our needs by thy power and strength. Most watchful Guardian of the Holy Family, protect the chosen people of Jesus Christ; keep far from us, most loving father, all blight of error and corruption: mercifully assist us from heaven, most mighty defender, in this our conflict with the powers of darkness; and, even as of old thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the supreme peril of His life, so now defend God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; keep us one an all under thy continual protection, that we may be supported by thine example and thine assistance, may be enabled to lead a holy life, die a happy death and come at last to the possession of everlasting blessedness in heaven. Amen. |

I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, to do pence and to amend my life. Amen. |
