O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day

for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins,
the reunion of all Christians,
and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month.
Amen.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit

and kindle in them the fire of Your love.
Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created,
and You shall renew the face of the earth.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit

O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit
did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant that by the same Holy Spirit
we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

to whom God’s love commits me here,
