A Prayer to begin the Day

Holy, Blessed and Glorious Trinity, I adore thee.
In thy perfect Beauty, I adore thee.
In thy boundless Power, I adore thee.
With the Holy Mother, I adore thee.
With the Holy Angels, I adore thee.
With the Blessed Saints, I adore thee.
In union with every Mass which is offered today, I adore thee.

Praise and Thanksgiving for protection during the past night, I offer to thee.
Praise and Thanksgiving for all thy mercies and blessings, I offer to thee.
My daily work, I offer to thee.
All my thoughts, I offer to thee.
All my words, I offer to thee.
All my deeds, I offer to thee.
My joys and my consolations, I offer to thee.
My sorrows and my troubles, I offer to thee.
My difficulties, my doubts and anxieties, I offer to thee.

–St. Augustine’s Prayer Book

    I have not used this in years; seeing it suddenly on the blog was moving and beautiful. Thank you. I must teach it to my children.
