Morning Offering Prayer Our Blessed Mother said in Garabandal on October 18th,
1961, **"We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance,
and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, we must lead good lives.
" ** **In 1945 Jesus told Lúcia, the seer of Fatima, "The
sacrifice and penance I now seek and require is the fulfillment of your state
in life and the observance of my laws." Whatever your state in life maybe
you can sanctify all your daily actions if upon arising you recite sincerely
the morning offering prayer. every act you do becomes a sacrifice. The word
"sacrifice" means to make "holy." Once you have made your morning
offering you make "holy" every act you do throughout the day.
Whatever trial God permits to pass your way during the day becomes a penance —
whether it be work, bad weather, rebellious children, sickness in the family,
tight economic conditions or misunderstandings by relatives or friends. All
these sacrifices and penances obtain graces the Blessed Virgin needs for the
conversion of sinners. ** **Padre Pio said it best, "If you knew the value of
suffering, you wouldn't give it up." ** |
