Morning Prayers
***
On awakening turn your thoughts immediately to God, and, making the Sign of the Cross, say:
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
(Indulgence of 50 days is granted for making the Sign of the Cross; and of 100 days, if it be done with holy water. The words must in either case be said. - Pius IX. July 28, 1863; March 23, 1866.)
***
On rising from your bed, say:
In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ crucifed, I arise. May He bless, govern, and preserve me, and bring me to everlasting life. Amen.
***
In kneeling down, try to put yourself in the presence of God, realizing that He is before you, that He sees all your thoughts, and is anxious to bear and help you. Then say :
Free my mind, O Lord, from all distracting thoughts, and enable me to pray at all times with attention and devotion, so that I may deserve to be heard by Thee. I offer Thee my prayers in union with that divine intention with which Thou Thyself, while on earth, didst render praises to God.
***
Acts of Adoration and Thanksgiving
Blessed be the holy and undivided Trinity, now and forevermore. Amen.
Unto the King of ahes, the immortal, invisible, and only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.
I thank Thee, O my Father, for the innumerable favors and benefits which I have received from Thy loving kindness and mercy, especially for having preserved me this night.
Glory be to the Father Who has created me, glory be to the Son Who has redeemed me, glory be to the Holy Ghost Who has sanctified me.
***

Prayers During the Day
***
On going out in the morning
Show me, O Lord, Thy ways, and teach me Thy paths. Direct my steps according to Thy word, that no injustice may rule over me. Make perfect my walking in Thy paths, that my footsteps may not be moved.
Jesus and Mary, we pray, be with us on our way.

Angel of God my Guardian dear, To whom His love commits me here, Ever this day be at my side. To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

O Lord, in the multitude of Thy mercies, I will enter into Thy house, and worship Thee in Thy holy temple, and praise Thy name.

At taking Holy Water
Sprinkle me, O Lord, with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Look upon Thy servants, O Lord, and upon Thy works, and direct their children. And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us, and direct Thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do Thou direct.

As it was in the beginning, etc.
