Morning Prayers
As soon as you awake, make the sign ✝ of the cross, saying :
Glory be to the Father Who hath created me.
Glory be to the Son Who hath redeemed me.
Glory be to the Holy Ghost Who hath sanctified me.
Blessed be the holy and undivided Trinity, now and forever. Amen.
On rising from your bed, say:
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I arise. May He bless, preserve and govern me and bring me to everlasting life. Amen.
While you are dressing, occupy yourself with pious thoughts. As soon as you are dressed, kneel down and say :
1. My God, I adore Thee and love Thee with all my heart.
2. I thank Thee for all Thy benefits, and especially for having preserved me this night.
3. I offer Thee whatever I may do or suffer this day, in union with the actions and sufferings of Jesus and Mary, with the intention of gaining all the indulgences I can in favor of the souls in Purgatory.
