O Lord, Let me unite with You,
that I may more deeply love You.
May I help make reparation to Your adorable Heart
and the heart of Your Mother, Mary.
With greatest love,
I offer myself to You
and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love.
I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me.

Let me be a holy sacrifice
and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love,
where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him.
Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him
in this my act of greatest love to Him.

One of my many blessings and opportunities as a missionary is to share the Joy of the Gospel. As a missionary Sister in Chile and Pakistan, I found the countries to be quite different in terms of culture, religious beliefs, language, weather and even food.

Majestic Queen of Heaven and Mistress of the Angels,
you received from God the power
and commission to crush the head of Satan.
We humbly beseech You,
send forth the legions of heaven,
that, under Your command,
they may seek out all evil spirits,
engage them everywhere in battle,
curb their insolence,

Be so kind as to heed our fervent prayer,
almighty God, that we,
Your sons and daughters,
despite our many weaknesses and failures,
may be found worthy instruments of Your peace and messengers of Your love,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Inspire us, O God, with a love of all men,
and especially for those who suffer and are persecuted;
teach us to go in Your name,
to bring love where there is hate,
light of Christian principles where there is darkness of error;
help us for Your honor and Glory to renew the face of the earth.

Today, may I love my enemies,
and treat others as I would ask to be treated;
may I forgive 70 times seven and show mercy.
May I welcome the prodigal,
have compassion for the Samaritan;
be a peace-maker
and love my neighbor unconditionally.

O Lord, by this most holy mystery of Your Body and Blood,
whereby we are daily fed, and cleansed,
and sanctified in Your Church,
grant me Your holy virtues,
that I may draw nearer to Your holy Altar.
May these heavenly mysteries become my salvation and life;
for You have said with Your holy and blessed lips:

Bring Us Life
God our Father,
may we always profit by the prayers
of the Virgin Mother Mary,
for You bring us life and salvation
through Jesus Christ her Son
Who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
