Morning Offering given
IN the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified,
I arise.
May He bless, govern, and preserve me,
and bring me to ever-lasting life.
FREE my mind O Lord,
from all distracting thoughts, and enable me
to pray with attention and devotion,
so that I may deserve to be heard by Thee.
I offer Thee my prayers
in union with that divine intention with which
Thou didst Thyself offer praises to God,
whilst Thou wast on earth.

In the Catholic Tradition today we pray for the Sacred Heart of Jesus
I adore Thee, I love Thee, I praise Thee, I cry to Thee for mercy, I return Thee thanks, I invoke Thee and confide myself entirely to Thee, O most holy and adorable Heart of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who for the salvation of us all didst submit Thyself to the rigors of Divine Justice, and didst voluntarily accept a birth accompanied with poverty, sorrow and contempt, a life of labor and contradictions, but of kindness for all, and a death full of opprobrium, confusion and sorrow, and who, in fine, for the love of those who wish to be saved through Thy divine charity, dost remain in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar to the end of time. Accomplish, O most adorable Heart, Thy wishes in my poor and miserable heart, which I dedicate and consecrate to Thee forever. Grant that it may live in the sentiments of love and gratitude which it owes Thee, that it may at all times breathe only Thy honor and glory, in order that it may expire in the waters of perfect contrition. Amen.
