Pauline Offertory




Father, in union with all those who today celebrate the Eucharist, I wish to offer myself,a small victim, with Jesus, the Victim.


---in atonement for error and scandal spread throughout the world, through the misuse of the means of social communication;


---to appeal to Your mercy for those persons, who, deceived and seduced by the influence of these instruments, stray from Your fatherly love;


---for the conversion of those persons, who, in the use of these instruments, reject the teaching of Christ and His Church, and thus warp the minds, hearts, and undertakings of men and women;


---that we may follow Him alone, whom You, Father, in Your boundless love, sent into the world, saying: "This is My beloved Son, hear Him;


"---to acknowledge and to make known that Jesus alone, the Word Incarnate, is the perfect Teacher, the trustworthy Way, Who leads to knowledge of You, Father, and to a partaking of Your life;


---that there be, in the Church, an increase in the number of priests, religious and lay persons who, consecrated as apostles of social communication, will make the message of salvation resound throughout the world;


---that all those, who work within the framework of social communication, may grow in holiness and wisdom and bear witness to an authentic Christian life;


---that the undertakings of Catholics, within the sphere of social communication, may continually increase so that, by promoting more effectively genuine human and Christian values,the voice of error and evil will be counteracted;


---that, well aware of our insufficiency and unworthiness, we may realize the need to draw near the Font of Life, in all humility and trust, and to be nourished with Your Word,Father, and with the Body of Christ, invoking light, love and mercy for all men and women.




Secret Of Success


Jesus Master, accept the pact we present to You, through the hands of Mary,Queen of the Apostles, and of our Father, St. Paul.


We must correspond to Your sublime will, arrive at the degree of perfection and heavenly glory to which You have destined us, and perform the apostolate of social communication in a holy manner.


But we see that we are very weak, ignorant, incapable and inadequate in every way:in spirit, in knowledge, in the apostolate and in poverty.


You, instead, are the Way and the Truth and the Life, the Resurrection, our One and Supreme Good. We trust in You alone, Who said: "Whatever you ask the Father in My name,you will receive it."


For our part, we promise and commit ourselves to seeking wholeheartedly, in all things,in life and the apostolate, only and always, Your glory and peace to all peoples.


We trust that, on Your part, You will give us a good spirit, grace, knowledge, and the means for doing good.According to Your immense goodness and the needs of our special vocation, multiply the fruits of our spiritual work, of our study, of our apostolate, and of our poverty.


We do not doubt You, but we fear our inconstancy and weakness.


Therefore, Good Master, through the intercession of Mary, our mother, extend to us the mercy You used with the Apostle Paul, so that, faithful in imitating our Father,here on earth, we may be his companions in the glory of heaven. Amen






Act Of Surrender To The Will Of God




My God, I do not know what will happen to me today.
I know only that nothing will happen to me that was not foreseen by You and directed to my greater good from all eternity. This is enough for me.


I adore Your eternal and unfathomable designs. I submit to them, with all my heart, for love of You.
I offer the sacrifice of my whole being to You and join my sacrifice to that of Jesus,my Divine Savior.
In His name and by His infinite merits, I ask You for patience in my sufferings and perfect submission, so that everything You want or permit to happen, will result in Your greater glory and my sanctification. Amen.




To Spend The Day Well




Dear and sweet Mother Mary,
keep your holy hand upon me;
guard my mind, my heart and my senses,
that I may never commit sin.
Sanctify my thoughts,
affections,
words and actions,
so that I may please you
and your Jesus, my God,
and reach heaven with you.
Jesus and Mary,
Give me Your holy blessing:
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.


Amen.
