Traditional Daily Offering of the Apostleship of 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.

Trinitarian Prayer

God, our Father, I offer You my day.
I offer You my prayers, thoughts, words,
actions, joys, and sufferings
in union with Your Son Jesus Christ,
Who continues to offer Himself in the Eucharist
for the salvation of the world.
May the Holy Spirit,Who guided Jesus,
be my guide and my strength today
so that I may witness to Your love.
With Mary, the mother of our Lord and of the Church,
I pray especially for this month's intentions
as proposed by the Holy Father.

A Morning Offering Prayer

Eternal Father,
I offer You everything I do this day:
my work, my prayers, my apostolic efforts;
my time with family and friends;
my hours of relaxation;
 my difficulties, problems, distress,
which I shall try to bear with patience. 

Join these, my gifts,
to the unique offering which Jesus Christ, Your Son,
renews today in the Eucharist.

Grant, I pray,
that, vivified by the Holy Spirit
and united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
my life this day may be of service
to you and your children
and help consecrate the world to you.
Amen.

Children's Daily Offering Prayer

Heavenly Father,
I offer you this day
All that I do and think and say
Uniting it with what was done
By Jesus Christ, your only Son.
Amen.
