Each Morning, Pray the Morning Offering:
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day
for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart
in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world,
for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians,
and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month.
Amen.
Each night, do a Nightly Examen of Conscience.
What is a nightly examen?
We want to grow closer to Jesus each day. When you do a nightly examen, you spend time with Jesus and think about your day with Him at your side. You think about the moments that went well, the times you made mistakes, and the ways you can keep inviting Jesus into your life.
• Did I listen to my parents today?
• Did I pray today?
• Did I use kind words?
• Did I help someone today?
• When did I love someone?
• When did I feel happy today?
• When did I feel sad?
• When did I feel angry?
• What was the best part of the day?
• What was the worst part of the day?
• What else do I want to tell Jesus about today?
4.) Pray, “I give you all the happy things and the sad things from today. I know you’re proud of me. I’m sorry for my mistakes. Help me love you, my friends, my teachers, and my family even better tomorrow.” Amen.
