Our Morning Offering – 4 January – Saturday of Christmas
Morning Offering to the Sacred Heart
(Treasury of the Sacred Heart 1950)
Everyday of my life belongs to You,
O my God
and every action of my life
should be performed with the pure intention
of honouring You alone.
From this moment, I offer them
to Your Sacred Heart
and by this offering,
I consecrate them without reserve
to Your glory.
What a motive for performing
all my actions with all possible perfection!
Do not permit them, O my divine Saviour,
to be sullied by any motives unworthy of
Your Sacred Heart.
I renounce all that could lessen
the merit of my offering.
I renounce all vanity,
self-love and human respect.
Grant, O my God,
that I may commence, continue
and end this day in Your grace
and solely from the pure motive
of pleasing and honouring You.
Amen

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. .

Dearest Jesus, on Mary’s feast when I was returning to my seat after taking communion and felt that push that toppled me forward striking very painful areas of of many of my old injuries. I told everyone that I was OK but as you I wasn’t. After Mass I stopped by one woman who was visibly upset and whispered to her that I was OK and God just felt I needed a little more humility. Why I stopped and said that I’ll never know. Thanks to you my Lord for that push in the right direction. In your name I pray. Amen

Yep’. I asked why I was not succeeding in even very small things. my first answer was ‘status quo’ A few minutes later ‘ stay the course ‘ So I must.
