Morning Prayers
Come, Holy Spirit, Creator,
Come from your bright heavenly throne,
Come, take possession of our souls
And make them all your own.
You who are called the Paraclete,
Best gift of God above,
The living spring, the living fire,
Sweet unction and true love.
You who are sevenfold in your grace,
Finger of God's right hand;
His promise, teaching little ones
To speak and understand.
O guide our minds with your blessed light,
With love our hearts inflame;
And with your strength which never decays,
Confirm our mortal frame.
Far from us drive our deadly foe;
True peace unto us bring;
And through all perils bring us safe
Beneath your sacred wing.
Through you may we know the Father,
Through you the eternal Son,
And you the Spirit of them both,
Thrice-blessed Three in One.
All glory to the Father be,
With his co-equal Son:
The same to you, Great Paraclete,
While endless ages run. Amen.
V. Send forth your Spirit and new life will
begin. (Easter Season: Alleluia)
R. And You will renew the face of the earth.
(Easter Season: Alleluia)
Let us pray: O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Pondering God’s Will for this day...

our hearts; that as we have known the Incarnation of Christ, your Son
by the message of an angel, so by His Passion and Cross we may be
brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ
our Lord. Amen.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
MOST HOLY TRINITY, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we believe and
hope in You.
We love You and we ask You for the grace to live in intimate and
constant union with You.
HEAVENLY FATHER, in Your great mercy, You sent Your Son, Jesus
Christ, and revealed to us Your plan of salvation
which He fulfilled on the
Cross. We desire to faithfully unite ourselves to Your Son for Your greater
glory,
above all, by receiving with love, the Cross You wish to send us.
JESUS, Eternal Priest, Immaculate Host,
help us to be transformed into You,
by doing as You did the Father’s Will,
with perfect obedience and humility of heart.
HOLY SPIRIT, enlighten us, and breathe into us the love of God.
We want
to live our consecration to You by being obedient to Your inspirations, and
leading all people to know You and love You.
MARY, Mother of Jesus and Our Mother, we want to meditate and share
your sorrows,
especially those you suffered on behalf of the Church after the
Ascension of your Son.
In your presence we renew our commitment to God. [for Religious: our religious vows;
for Novices: our Baptismal
promises].
Obtain for us the graces we need to observe them faithfully and
bless the members of the Family of the Cross.

and to die in the state of grace.

lead their brothers with the spirit of love, helping them to
faithfully respond to Your call.
The
Offering of the Incarnate Word
Heavenly Father, through the hands of Mary, we offer You, Jesus the
Incarnate Word,
the Victim in whom You are well pleased. Moved by
the love of the Holy Spirit in our hearts,
we offer ourselves completely with
Him as living hosts.
May we be a living sacrifice out of love for You, in all
the events of our lives, obtaining graces for the world, the Church and
especially Your priests.
Jesus, savior of all people, save them!
Consecration to the Holy Spirit
O Holy Spirit,
receive the perfect and complete consecration of my whole being.
In all my
actions, grant me the grace of being my Light, my Guide, my Strength and the
Love of my heart.
I surrender myself to You, and I ask of You the grace to be
faithful to Your inspirations.
Holy Spirit, transform me through Mary and with Mary into a
true image of Christ Jesus,
for the glory of the Father, and the salvation of
the world. Amen.
