Welcome to August, the Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ad Jesum per Mariam! To Jesus through Mary!
Here's a great prayer, below, written by the French Jesuit, Father François-Xavier Gautrelet SJ (1807 - 1886), which is used by many people as a morning offering.
Why not try it each day this month? Through this prayer, Mary takes us to her beloved Son so that we can offer Him the day ahead. It's a great way to start the day. So, let us pray:
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.
