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
