“May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance.” Jude 1:2

As Catholics,as Christians how do you start your mornings?

Peace and Love :hug1:
 
Well I drink coffee and if I feel not too tired, I will pray morning prayer of the LOTH. Maybe bless myself with holy water.
 
First I retract my claws from the ceiling and do a mid-air flip to an upright standing position.

Then I often drink black coffee while lounging in the bathtub, possibly listening to music/news.
 
I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity:
I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.

I bind to myself today
The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
The virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
The virtue of His coming on the Judgement Day.

I bind to myself today
The virtue of the love of seraphim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the hope of resurrection unto reward,
In prayers of Patriarchs,
In predictions of Prophets,
In preaching of Apostles,
In faith of Confessors,
In purity of holy Virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I bind to myself today
The power of Heaven,
The light of the sun,
The brightness of the moon,
The splendour of fire,
The flashing of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of sea,
The stability of earth,
The compactness of rocks.

I bind to myself today
God’s Power to guide me,
God’s Might to uphold me,
God’s Wisdom to teach me,
God’s Eye to watch over me,
God’s Ear to hear me,
God’s Word to give me speech,
God’s Hand to guide me,
God’s Way to lie before me,
God’s Shield to shelter me,
God’s Host to secure me,
Against the snares of demons,
Against the seductions of vices,
Against the lusts of nature,
Against everyone who meditates injury to me,
Whether far or near,
Whether few or with many.

I invoke today all these virtues
Against every hostile merciless power
Which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false prophets,
Against the black laws of heathenism,
Against the false laws of heresy,
Against the deceits of idolatry,
Against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
Against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.
Christ, protect me today
Against every poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against death-wound,
That I may receive abundant reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort,
Christ in the chariot seat,
Christ on the deck,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of an invocation of the Trinity,
I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.
 
I pray the 3 Hail Marys, Morning Offering, invocations to Our Lady and St. Joseph, Angel of God and consecration to my guardian angel, healing the family tree prayer. I pray several other prayers afterwards, like daily protection prayers, prayers of the Green Scapular, sprinkling holy water for my intentions and enumerating them.
 
Morning offering as soon as I am aware that I am sort of awake. Make it up, not the written one. Coffee. Hug for husband. Mass if I can make it.
 
Alarm goes off at 4.25 a.m I generally am up 5 minutes before it goes off. Pick cloths off floor in the dark…get dressed in kitchen… Little boys room,and I’m off…no coffee,no toast, till 9 a.m on my return home, that’s a normal morning…

Up at 5 am, pray, have my coffee, get dressed and off to Mass at 7AM with my grandaughter. She spends her day with me during summer vacation.
 
Morning offering before I get out of bed, coffee, check email etc. on line, and then when I’m a bit more awake, LOTH, shower/dressed, and out the door. And looking at the clock now, I’d better be moving on.
 
I love my mornings - I give myself plenty of time to shower, make coffee, and read the Bible in the quiet. I try to go to daily mass one morning a week.

As I drive to work, I pray the Devotion to the Drops of Blood, naming each family member by name. It is for them that I pray :grouphug:
 
Morning Prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours,…then prayer to my favorite saints. Also offering myself to our Blessed Mother for her prayers and protection.
 
Have a cup of coffee/wait for the cobwebs to clear a bit, then pray Morning Prayer (Liturgy of the Hours).
 
If I don’t manage to wake before the kids, then its straight to work with diapers and breakfast and all that. After breakfast I pray morning prayers from the little office of the BVM. I do like to wake some time before the kids though, which almost never happens, but on those days I will pray morning offering and some other small prayers. Then I shower/do hair/dress. Then I read/meditate/pray a little while. Then go online or do some chores until kids are up. Blissful quiet in the mornings before everyone wakes!
 
While still in my bed as I wake up, In a prostrate position with my hand covering my eyes…I Glorify, Praise and Thank God for this day. Profess my love for him…but with a big percentage dozing off again. That’s where my back up alarm kicks in. The main intention though is to to think of God first before anything else. :yawn:
