Our Morning Offering – 27 January – The Memorial of St Angela Merici (1474-1540)
Excerpt from St Angela Merici’s Daily Prayer
My God, enlighten the darkness of my heart
and give me grace to die
rather than ever offend Your divine Majesty.
Place a guard around my affections
and my thoughts,
so that they may never turn aside
from You and Your ways
and banish me not from Your presence,
in which afflicted hearts find such consolation.
O Lord,
I beg of You by Your holy Passion,
by Your precious blood shed for love of us,
by the holy name of Jesus,
that this adorable name may be blessed
in heaven and on earth
and by the heavenly choirs
of angels and archangels.
I regret, O Lord, that I have begun so late
to serve Your divine Majesty.
Accept, I beseech You, O Lord,
all my thoughts, words and actions,
together with my whole being;
and placing all at the feet of Your divine Majesty,
I beg You to accept them,
unworthy as I am of such a favour.
Amen
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
