As Morning breaks I think of you, O Lord, and my desire is to serve You joyfully.

With gladness, I consecrate this day to Your Sacred Heart, and offer whatever joys and sacrifices may come my way.

Thank You for the graces You will send, all the love, all the beauty, and the ways You will answer my prayers.

Today, may I love my enemies, and treat others as I would ask to be treated; may I forgive seventy times seven and show mercy; may I welcome the prodigal, have compasSion for the Samaritan; be a peace-maker and love my neighbor unconditionally.

Take all my heart, and mind and strength, O Lord, that this day may be truly lived for Your greater honor and glory and for the salvation of souls.

Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, source of all consolations, have mercy on us.
