Text Box: REUNION has had several articles which mention a morning offering prayer. There was even a model for this prayer in one issue. Would you give us your own morning offering prayer so we can see what one really is like? So we can see what you are talking about? I am not sure of what use my own Morning Offering prayer would be to anyone. But since you apparently believe it may be of use to you, we publish it below. I did make a few modifications in it for publication, mainly making the identities of some individuals difficult to ascertain - primarily for their privacy. I also deleted some rather long lists of names of individuals replacing them with Xxxx . . . Xxxx to reduce the amount of space used. I begin with: “In the Name of the Father +, and of the Son +, and of the Holy Spirit +. Amen,” and then pray an Act of Contrition. Then: In the Name of the Father +, and of the Son +, and of the Holy Spirit + Oh Trinity God, Oh Father, in the name of Jesus, and through Jesus, Our Lord and God of God, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Ever Virgin Mother of God, in the Holy Spirit, I pray and I offer Thee, and pray that all will be worthy of being offered to Thee, and that Thou wilt accept, all my prayers, words, works, joys, sufferings, thoughts, actions, deeds, and every thing I do, think and feel, all my desires, my heart and all of me in every way this day, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Divine Liturgy throughout the world, in particular, for the intentions of Jesus and of Mary, the Ever Virgin Mother of God, and if Thou wilt, for my purification and salvation, in reparation and atonement for my sins, for the holy intentions of all my associates, and the holy intentions of: Your servants Bartholomeaus Patriarch
