'So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.' (1 Corinthians 10: 31)

Invocation to the Holy Spirit:

In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

O truly Holy and Dear Spirit,

Let me hear Your sweet and kind voice.

I wish before You to be as light as a feather,

That Your wind may carry me wherever it wishes, 

That I may never ever slightly resist.

Ven. François Marie Libermann.

Psalm 126 (127):

Unless the Lord build the house,/they labor in vain who build,/Unless the Lord guards the city,/in vain does the guard keep watch./It is vain for you to rise early/and put off your rest at night./To eat bread earned by hard toil-/all this God gives to his beloved in sleep./Certainly sons are a gift from the Lord,/the fruit of the womb, a reward.

Reading: Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11

There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. [...]What profit have workers from their toil? I have seen the business that God has given to mortals to be busied about. God has made everything appropriate to its time but has put the timeless into their hearts so they cannot find out, from beginning to end, the work which God has done.

Meditation:

Perfect consecration to Jesus is but a perfect and complete consecration of oneself to the Blessed Virgin [...]. This devotion consists in giving oneself entirely to Mary in order to belong entirely to Jesus through her. It requires us to give our body with its senses and members, our soul with its faculties, our present material possessions and all we shall acquire in the future. In other words, we give her all that we possess both in our natural life and in our spiritual life as well as everything we shall acquire in the future in the order of nature, of grace, and of glory in heaven. This we do without any reservation, not even of a penny, a hair, or the smallest good dead. And we give for all eternity without claiming or expecting, in return for our offering and our service, any other reward than the honor of belonging to our Lord through Mary and in Mary [...]. It follows then that by this devotion we give to Jesus all we can possibly give him, and in the most perfect manner, that is, through Mary's hands. Indeed, we give him far more than we do by other devotions which require us to give only part of our time, some of our good works or acts of atonement and penances. In this devotion, everything is given and consecrated.

St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, Treatise on True Devotion, §120-123

Consecration prayer:

Blessed be God for the time He gave me on this earth. Mother of incarnate Verb, I consecrate to you every instant of my earthly life, that I may use each minute for the greatest glory of God and for the service of others. Grant me the grace to not waste my time, but make it flourish for eternity by teaching me to live in the grace of God. 

Mother of Mercy, save me from idleness and sloth; pray for those of your children tempted to put a term to their life.

Pray a chaplet decade.
