To volunteer for the Morning Prayer, please contact anyone in the Pastoral office.

Act of Consecration to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus

Eternal and ever loving Father, I offer you everything I do this day: My work, my prayers, my play, all my thoughts, my time with family and friends, my hours of relaxation, my difficulties, problems, distress, which I shall try to bear with patience.
Join these, my gifts, to the unique offering which Jesus Christ, your Son, renews today in the Eucharist. Grant, I pray, that guided by the Holy Spirit and united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, my life this day may be of service to you, and to all you send into my life, so that we can continue to respond with love to the mystery of your call, to be your special people. Amen.
Leader: Heart of Jesus burning with love for us,
Response: Enflame our hearts with love for you.

Community Afternoon Prayer:
The Providence community Before dismissing at the end of the day, the entire community once again participates in a short prayer. Through the following prayer, we continue to journey through our ordinary life experiences with a hope to reach out and renew the oneness of our minds and hearts intent on the Lord Jesus.

Leader: You have made us for Yourself, O Lord…
Response: And our hearts are restless until they rest in You.
Leader: St. Augustine…
Response: Pray for us.
