Morning Offering:

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day 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

Gospel Reading of the Day: John 12:24–26 Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me trust that, like the grain of wheat that falls to the earth and bears much fruit, You can bring new life from every struggle and sacrifice I face. Strengthen my faith when doubt weighs me down, and help me let go of anything that keeps me from following You. Teach me to serve You with a willing heart, trusting that Your way leads to life with You in heaven. Amen.
