Description
This online Bible Study begins with a quote from St. Peter Julian Eymard “In order to succeed in prayer, it should be done when we first awaken, when our whole being is calm and recollected. We need to make our mediation before anything else.”
We know the importance of how we start our mornings. We also know they can seem to come rather quickly and early!

We can’t expect to get up ready for the day if we don’t go to bed until the early morning hours of that day!

Morning Quotes
Every morning prepare your soul for a tranquil day.
(St. Francis de Sales)
In the morning, we must do like the little child in its cradle. The moment it opens its eyes, it looks round the house for its mother. When it sees her, it begins to smile; if it does not see her, it cries.
(St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney, the Cure of Ars)
O Lord, keep Thy hand this day over Philip, if Thou do not, Philip will betray Thee.
(St. Philip Neri)
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!
(Steve Maraboli)
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
(Henry David Thoreau)
Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.
(Hans Christian Andersen)
Morning Prayers
Morning Offering
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 this month. Amen.
*The Offering is meant to be prayed first thing in the morning, thereby consecrating the day to the Lord and preparing one to focus all on Jesus and give to Him all that one does during the day.
Breathe into me, Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Move in me, Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Attract my heart, Holy Spirit, that I may love only what is holy.
Strengthen me, Holy Spirit, that I may defend all that is holy.
Protect me, Holy Spirit, that I may always be holy.
(St. Augustine)
O my God, I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to His infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of His Merciful Love. O my God, I ask of Thee for myself and for those whom I hold dear, the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, to accept for love of Thee the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in heaven for all Eternity. Amen.
(St. Therese the Little Flower)
Holy Spirit, come into my heart; Draw it to Thee by Thy power, O my God, And grant me charity with filial fear. Preserve me, O beautiful love, from every evil thought; Warm me, inflame me with Thy dear love, And every pain will seem light to me. My Father, my sweet Lord, help me in all my actions. Jesus, love. Jesus, love.
(St. Catherine of Sienna)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
(St. Francis of Assisi)
