St. Edmund Morning Offering

O Lord, into Thy hands and into the hands of Thy holy angels, this day I entrust my soul, my relatives, my benefactors, my friends and enemies, and all Thy Catholic people.

O Lord, by the merits and prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all Thy saints, keep us today from all evil and unruly desires, from all sins and temptations of the devil, from a sudden and unprovided death, and from the pains of hell.

Enlighten my heart with the grace of Thy Holy Spirit.

Grant that I may ever be obedient to Thy commandments.

Let me never be separated from Thee, O Jesus, who live and reign with God the Father and the same Holy Spirit forever.

Pause here for the grace you are asking.

Amen.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Hail Mary Glory Be

St Edmund Campion, pray for us!

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

Amen.
