 Bless each of my activities (name them); may each of them - however humble - be an opportunity for me to serve you.
 Bless each of the encounters I will have.

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux's daily offering prayer

"My God, I offer you all the actions I'm going to do today,
 for the intentions and glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus;
 I want to sanctify the beating of my heart, my thoughts and my works the most.heart, my thoughts and my simplest deeds, by uniting them with his infinite merits,
 and make reparation for my faults by throwing them into the furnace of his merciful love.

O my God, I ask you for myself and for those who are dear to me, the grace to perfectly accomplish your holy will;
 to accept, for your love, the joys and sorrows of this fleeting life, so that one day we may be reunited in Heaven for all Eternity.
 Amen"

Morning ritual for a serene day under the sign of God

To get off to a good start in the morning, it's best to establish a little routine. Depending on the time at your disposal, your possibilities and your sensitivity, you can choose how you wish to devote a few minutes to God in the morning.
Here are a few ideas to help you get started on this simple yet radically effective habit!

• Recite a morning prayer: This can be one of the prayers suggested in this article, or other prayers, such as the beautiful prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (, the prayer to his guardian angel by the Curé d'Ars, or simply an Our Father, the prayer of Jesus.(Register for free on Hozana and receive a new prayer every morning)
• Recite the day's Lauds, the liturgy of the hours corresponding to the morning and inviting us to praise God. Far from being reserved exclusively for monks, this beautiful liturgy is accessible to everyone.
• Praise God with a song of praise to develop and cultivate joy in the morning, and give thanks to God for the beauty of this day.
• Take a moment of meditation to welcome God's presence. This can be done in silent meditation, in the form of oraison, or by meditating on the Word of God, especially the day's Gospel.
