I adore Thee, O most holy Trinity; I glorify, bless, and praise Thee; I give Thee thanks for all the gifts of nature, of grace, and of glory, which up to this time Thou hast granted to me, to all men, and to angels; and especially I thank Thee because, in the midst of so many perils of body and soul, Thou hast brought me peacefully through the night just past, and hast preserved me without harm unto this day. How many, alas! have even now been snatched from their bed to stand before Thy judgment-seat, and have perished for ever. The living, O Lord, the living shall praise Thee as I do this day. ACT OF OBLATION. TO GOD THE FATHER. O everlasting Father! to Thee do I send forth my first aspiration, the first warm emotion of my heart: to Thee do I offer up my whole self, all the powers of my soul, all the senses of my body, and everything that I have. O my Father! Thou, who art the light of this new day, accept my early offering of love, and unite it with the burning love and precious merits of Thy beloved Son. O God of my heart, what have I in Heaven but Thee? and apart from Thee, what do I desire on earth? |
