The Daily Offering
A Daily Prayer Of Self Offering to the Sacred Heart
Your life matters–to God and to the world.
The daily offering prayer unites all the prayers, works, joys and sufferings of your day to the Heart of Jesus. God honors your offering and uses your prayer to continue his work of saving the world. Include the pope’s monthly intention in your daily offering to intercede for the world’s greatest needs.
The Daily Offering
Good Father, I know you are with me. Here I am on this new day. Place my heart once more with the Heart of your Son Jesus, who gives himself for me and who comes to me in the Eucharist. May your Holy Spirit make me his friend and apostle, available for his mission of compassion.
I place in your hands my joys and hopes, my works and sufferings, everything that I am and have, in communion with my brothers and sisters of this Worldwide Prayer Network.
With Mary, I offer you my day for the mission of the Church and for the prayer intentions of the Pope and my Bishop for this month. Amen.
Additional Daily Offering Prayers
Traditional Morning Offering Prayer
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.
Daily Offering in Song
(sing to the tune of Amazing Grace)
For love of me you came to earth;
You gave your life for me.
So every day you give me now
I give back happily.
Take all my laughter, all my tears,
Each thought, each word, each deed,
And let them be my all-day prayer
To help all those in need.
St. Thérèse’s Daily Offering
(St. Therese was a member of the Apostleship of Prayer, now known as the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network)
Oh my God! I offer You 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 in the furnace of His merciful love.
Oh my God! I ask of You for myself and for those dear to me the grace to fulfill perfectly Your holy will, to accept for love of You the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in Heaven for all eternity. Amen.
El Ofrecimiento Diario
Padre bueno, sé que estás conmigo. Aquí estoy en este nuevo día. Pon una vez más mi corazón junto al Corazón de tu Hijo Jesús, que se entrega por mí y que viene a mí en la Eucaristía. Que tu Espíritu Santo me haga su amigo y su apóstol, disponible a su misión de compasión.
Pongo en tus manos mis alegrías y esperanzas, mis trabajos y sufrimientos, todo lo que soy y tengo, en comunión con mis hermanos y hermanas de esta Red Mundial de Oración.
Con María, te ofrezco mi jornada por la misión de la Iglesia y por las intenciones de oración del Papa y de mi Obispo para este mes.
Amén.
