Thank God for all favors and offer yourself to Him

My God, Thou hast made me out of nothing, Thou hast redeemed me by the death of Thy Son,
Thou hast sanctified me by the grace of Thy Holy Ghost, Thou hast favored me by a call to
serve Thee, Thou has sent me so many blessings through the Holy Eucharist, Thou hast
preserved me and brought me happily to the beginning of another day. I thank Thee, my Lord,
most humbly and earnestly for these benefits and for all the graces which Thou hast bestowed
upon me. I offer and consecrate to Thee my whole being, and in particular all my thoughts,
words, actions, and sufferings this day, beseeching Thee that through the infinite merits of
Jesus Christ, my Saviour, they may all be pleasing and acceptable in Thy sight. May Thy divine
love animate them, and may they all tend to Thy greater glory.

Resolve to avoid sin and to practice virtue

Adorable Jesus, my Saviour and Master, model of all perfection, I resolve and will endeavor
this day to imitate Thy example, to be, like Thee, mild, humble, chaste, obedient, charitable,
and resigned. I will redouble my efforts that I may not fall this day into any of those sins which
I have heretofore committed (here name any besetting sin), and which I sincerely desire to
forsake.

Ask God for the necessary graces.

O My God, Thou knowest my poverty and weakness, and that I am unable to do anything good
without Thee; deny me not, O God, the help of Thy grace; proportion it to my necessities; give
me strength to avoid anything evil which Thou forbiddest, and to practice the good which Thou
hast commanded; and enable me to bear patiently all the trials which it may please Thee to
send me.
