Daily Offering
O my God, I offer you all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for the intentions for which He pleads and offers Himself in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in thanksgiving for your favors, in reparations for my offenses, and in humble supplication for my temporal and eternal welfare, for the wants of our holy Mother the Church, for the conversion of sinners, and for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory.
I wish to gain all the indulgences attached to the prayers I shall say and the good works I shall perform this day.
PRAYER TO BE SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MASS
Eternal Father, I unite myself with the intentions and affections of our Lady of Sorrows on Calvary, and I offer Thee the Sacrifice which Thy beloved Son Jesus made of Himself on the Cross and which He now renews on this holy altar:
First. To adore Thee and give Thee the honor which is due Thee, confessing Thy
supreme dominion over all things, and the absolute dependence of everything upon
Thee, Who art our one and last End.
Second. To thank Thee for innumerable benefits received.
Third. To appease Thy justice, aroused against us by so many sins, and to make satisfaction for them.
Fourth. To implore grace and mercy for myself, for my loved ones, for my friends and enemies,… (specified, named) and for all afflicted and sorrowing, for poor sinners, for all the world, and for the holy souls in Purgatory.
Invocatio Post Communionem
O Lord God almighty, thy blessed Son! who graciously hearest them that call upon thee in uprightness, who knowest the prayers of those even who are silent; we thank thee for thou hast deemed us worthy to partake of thy sacred mysteries thou hast given to us, for fully strengthening our faith in those things which we so well know, for the preservation of piety, and for the forgiveness of our sins; for the name of thy Christ has been invoked upon us, and we have been joined to thee.
O thou who has separated us from communion with the ungodly, unite us with them that are consecrated to thee, strengthen us in the truth, by the coming of the Holy Ghost, teach us the things we know not, supply our deficiencies, confirm us in the truths we already know.
Preserve thy priests blameless in thy service. Keep kings in peace, magistrates in justice, the air salubrious, thy fruits in abundance, the world in thy almighty providence. Pacify nations that are waging war. Convert them that are astray.
Sanctify thy people; preserve thy virgins; keep in fidelity them that are in wedlock; strengthen the chaste; lead little ones to mature age; confirm the newly initiated; teach the catechumens and make them worthy of initiation; and gather us all together into the kingdom of heaven, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
To whom, together with thee, and the Holy Ghost, be glory, honor, and adoration for ever. Amen
