Each day I try to offer prayer and glory up to God and to Jesus. I don’t have any particular prayer I say every day, but rather I tend to speak with Him spontaneously - though I do make an effort to pray and offer thanks each morning and evening. I try to read Scripture most days, and that helps guide my prayer a little better.
I carry a few prayer and relic cards in my wallet, and I read them daily:
Sinjur Alla, jien għandi bżonnok. (Lord God, I need you.) - Dun Ġorġ Preca, Malta’s first Catholic saint.
Light His Light of truth in every person’s life, so that God can continue loving the world through you and me. - Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
I also have a connection to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and sometimes I pray this Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary:
Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I consecrate my entire self to the Most Holy Love of Your Two Hearts. I wish to make reparation for all the sins of the world, including my own. I offer these things for the love of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I will keep my mind on beauty and turn my thoughts from evil things. I will hold my temper and bear the mistakes of others with love and a forgiving heart. I will admit when I am wrong and ask others to forgive me. I will not show off, but remain humble. I will offer up all my sufferings, sicknesses and hurts and seek God’s will, not my own. I will show appreciation for the kindness and blessings that I receive, and thank God for all things. I will do everything in my life for love of God and I will love others as God has loved me. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, receive the offering and consecration I now make of myself to you. Keep me faithful until death and bring me one day to the happy home in heaven. I desire to live forever with God the Father and the Most Holy Spirit and You my Lord Jesus, together with your Most Immaculate Mother. Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, please protect us.
God bless.
