Catholic Morning Prayer
This Catholic morning prayer is a cherished way to begin the day, offering your heart, mind, and soul to God from the very first moments of light. Through these sacred words, we entrust our work, struggles, and joys into His loving hands, drawing strength and grace for the day ahead. Let this prayer be your morning anchor, aligning your spirit with God’s will and filling your day with His peace, guidance, and blessing.
Gracious God, thank you for the gift of today.
Refresh me, invite me to discover your presence in each person that I meet and every event that I encounter.
Teach me when to speak and when to listen, when to ponder and when to share.
In moments of challenge and decision, attune my heart to the whispering of your Wisdom.
As I undertake ordinary and unnoticed tasks, gift me with simple joy.
When my day goes well, may I rejoice.
When it grows difficult, surprise me with new possibilities.
When life is overwhelming, call me to Sabbath moments to restore peace and harmony.
May my living today reveal your goodness.
Amen.
– Sr. Pat Bergen, C.S.J.
