Morning Intentions

The Lord Jesus Christ has given us the light of another day. In return we thank him as we cry out:

Lord, bless us and bring us close to you.

You offered yourself in sacrifice for our sins,
— accept our intentions and our work today.

Lord, bless us and bring us close to you.

You bring us joy by the light of another day,
— let the morning star rise in our hearts.

Lord, bless us and bring us close to you.

Give us strength to be patient with those we meet today,
— and so imitate you.

Lord, bless us and bring us close to you.

Make us aware of your mercy this morning, Lord,
— and let your strength be our delight.

Lord, bless us and bring us close to you.

-Liturgy of the Hours Morning Intentions 

For all of our hearts' intentions; we pray and ask the Lord to bless and bring close to Him. 

Amen.
