A Morning Prayer During COVID19
By Catherine Gilmore
Schedules are thrown off. Homes have become temporary offices. #zoom Everything seems to be a little off-kilter these days, which is all the more reason we had a solid foundation to our days with this simple morning offering.
A Morning Offering
For the Covid Days
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of my Mother Mary,
I offer you all of my prayers, works, joys, hopes, consolations, anxieties, disappointments, losses, and sufferings of this day. I offer you my countless emails, my time of solitude, and my tendency to worry about the unknown.
I ask that You send Your Holy Spirit upon me, that my day may be pervaded by light and peace, and that I may do all for the praise and service of Your Divine Majesty alone.
I offer my day for all the intentions of Your Most Sacred Heart, especially for the health of my loved ones, for those who are suffering, for wisdom for our government and Church leaders, and for peace in our world.
I offer my day to You in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world; even though it may be hidden from me, I know that Your priests offer the Sacrifice of Calvary for your Bride, the Universal Church.
I offer this day in atonement for my many sins, especially my sins of despair and distrust, and for the sins of the whole world.
Amen.
