In the Name of the Father +, and of the Son +, and of the Holy Spirit + I contemplate every situation or thing, and briefly think about every person whom I know, which or who is mentioned in my Morning Offering Prayer. Some may think it presumptuous on my part to think that I can have any effect on so many people and situations or things.

He has already changed the universe and every person whether spirit or material. Why not a few dozen more, and a few dozen more situations and things? The “power” and abilities of the Divine Liturgy and its Sacrifice are beyond measure. Accompany them and make yourself and all others, as well as everything else, better. Christ’s Peace, + Paul, S.S.B.
