Before my morning post, let us start off with a prayer:

Father in Heaven, all throughout this day thou hast given us, may we do what is pleasing in thine eyes, and do what is good and right. Help us to resist temptation, and love the Lord with our whole heart, and help us to dedicate all we are to you.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord, Amen


In the Name of the +Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen




It always helps me to start my day off with morning Mass and prayer. It's a way of dedicating yourself to Jesus, and if you do this, He will help you through anything you may be faced with during the course of the day. Basing your life around the Sacraments is a wonderful way to live the Catholic faith. If you have to get up earlier to go to Mass, then do it! If your co-workers ask why you get up so early, don't be afraid to tell them! Perhaps they are Catholics, but haven't practiced the faith in awhile. Your attendance at Mass may motivate them to return to the Faith.

Preach the Gospel always, and when necessary, use words--St. Francis of Assisi




God Bless!
