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. I offer them 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 the Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for the general intention recommended by our Holy Father for the month of November 2007: Respect for Life. That medical researchers and legislators may have a deep respect for human life from its beginning to its natural conclusion.
