Prayers for the work of your hands

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I offer you my prayers, works,
joys, and sufferings of this day,
in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
throughout the world.

I offer them for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart:
the salvation of souls, reparation for sin,
and the reunion of all Christians.

I offer them for the intentions of our bishops
and of all members of the Apostleship of Prayer,
and in particular for those recommended
by our Holy Father this month.

Amen.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place
in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting,
thou art God.

Thou turnest man to destruction;
and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in thy sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.

So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Amen.

Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed,
and enlarge my coast,
and that thine hand might be with me,
and that thou wouldest keep me from evil,
that it may not grieve me!

Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever.

Amen.

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;

Trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever
in the next.

Amen.
