A Night Prayer

Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.

Quote of the Day

“When the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things.”

— Catechism of the Catholic Church (966)

Today’s Meditation

“”Thy kingdom come” (Mt. 6:10). this, too, is the languagae of a right-minded child of God, not to be attached to things that are seen, nor to account present things as some great matter, but to hasten to our Fahter and to long for the things to come. This peition springs from a good conscience and a soul set free from earthly things. Paul himself, for instance, was longing after this every day. Therefore, he also said that “we ourselves who have the first fruits of the Spirit groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies” (Rom. 8:23). For he who has this desire can neither be puffed up by the good things of this life nor abashed by its sorrows. As though dwelling in the very heavens, such a man is freed from all kinds of unreasonable desires.” —Scott Hahn, pg. 115An excerpt from Understanding Our Father

Examination of Conscience

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.1. Reflect on the victories and losses

Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.

• Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
• In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
• Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
• Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.

2. Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.3. Practice gratitude

It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day. 

• Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
• What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
• Thank God for all these moments!
• Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.

4. Renew your commitment to Christ

Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.

• Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
• Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
• If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
• Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
