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 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.

CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS 

O Jesus, we know that You are merciful (Mt. 11:29), 

and that You gave Your Heart for us, 

that was crowned with thorns by our sins; 

We know that even today You are still pleading 

with us so that we will not be lost. 

Jesus, remember us when we are in sin. 

By means of Your Sacred Heart, 

grant us, that all men love one another; 

Cause hatred to disappear among men. 

Show us Your love, 

for we all love You, 

and want You to protect us 

with your Shepherd’s Heart 

and free us from all sin. 

Jesus, enter into each heart. 

Knock on the door of our hearts. 

Be patient and unwearied with us. 

We are still closed, since we still have not 

yet understood Your love for us. 

Knock persistently and grant, O good Jesus, 

that we open our hearts to You, 

at least when we will have remembered the passion 

You suffered for us. Amen.

CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY 

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, overflowing 

with goodness, Show us Your love for us. 

May the flame of Your heart, O Mary, 

Descend upon all mankind. 

We love You so. 

Impress true love in our hearts 

that we may have a continuous desire for You. 

O Mary, meek and humble of heart, 

Remember us when we are in sin. 

You know that all men sin. 

Grant to us by means of Your Immaculate Heart, 

to be healed from every spiritual illness. 

In doing so, we then will be able to gaze 

upon the goodness of Your Maternal Heart, 

And thus be converted through 

the flame of Your Heart. Amen.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
