A Morning Offering



February 8, 1956

Dear Diary,

Morning filled my room before my feet even touched the floor and I whispered my first prayer:

“O Most Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—I thank You for this new morning! You watched over me through the night, and now I give this whole day to You. Let all my little tasks be done with love for You. If there are any hardships, help me to bear them gladly, knowing You allow them for my good. O dear Lord, teach me to love You more!”

“O Mary, my sweet Mother, You are my refuge! After God, You are my greatest comfort, my hope in all things. Please watch over me today, protect me in soul and body, and help me love Jesus as You do. Teach me to do my work well and to obey with a cheerful heart. And, dear Mother, when my last day comes, please be there to take my hand and lead me safely to Jesus. Amen.”

O Lord, let this day be for You!

With love, Kathy
