A Morning Offering Through St. Joseph

A Morning Offering Through St. Joseph

Receive me, dear and chosen Father, and the offering of every 
movement of my body and soul, which I desire to present 
through thee to my blessed Lord.

Purify all! Make all a perfect holocaust! May every pulsation 
of my heart be a Spiritual Communion, every look and 
thought an act of love, every action a sweet sacrifice, 
every word an arrow of Divine love, every step 
an advance toward Jesus, every visit to Our Lord as 
pleasing to God as the errands of Angels, every thought 
of thee, dear Saint, an act to remind thee that I am thy child.

I recommend to thee the occasions in which I usually fail, 
particularly . . . (Mention these). Accept each little devotion 
of the day, though replete with imperfection, and offer it 
to Jesus, Whose mercy will overlook all, since He 
regards not so much the gift as the love of the giver.  Amen.
