Morning Offering to the Sacred Heart

A woman baker places a loaf on a wooden cooling rack, with a devotional image of the Sacred Heart on the bakery wall.
May the work of this day be offered with a generous heart.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all our associates, and in particular for the intentions of our Holy Father for this month.
