Morning prayer

*** Morning prayer ***
​Psalm 16
​Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
​Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup;
you make my lot secure.
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
​(Psalm 16: 1-2, 5, 7-8, 11)
​Prayer
​Ever-living Father, our God! You have given us another new day and another new opportunity to repent. Thank you, God! 🙏
​Jesus, you said, "First, remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s or sister’s eye."
​When we find fault in others and point out their flaws, we forget about the plank in our own eye. Please forgive us.
​Jesus, I begin this day in your name. Bless and guide me. I surrender all the events of this day, both good and bad, to your immaculate Sacred Heart.
​Jesus, Mary, Joseph, I surrender my heart and soul to you.
​Amen. †
