The morning offering prayer, fasting and the spirit of fasting, the wisdom that comes from spiritual reading and meditation,
then the observance of penitential prayers daily, and finally the daily examination of conscience. These are five practices which will help us to have a really great Lent. We're going to do that together as a church. These are five ways of really embracing what this holy season offers us and getting ready for a great Easter when it finally comes.
St. Thérèse’s Daily Offering
Oh my God! I offer You 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 His infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them in the furnace of His merciful love.
Oh my God! I ask of You for myself and for those dear to me the grace to fulfill perfectly Your holy will, to accept for love of You the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in Heaven for all eternity. Amen.
