Welcome to Heal with Faith. I invite you to say these short but powerful morning prayers to start your day with thoughts of our Lord. May you be accompanied by His grace and love as you navigate another day in your healing journey. Let us begin. Let us place ourselves in the presence of God and humbly adore Him. In the name of the Father, And of the Son, And of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Most Holy and Adorable Trinity, One God in three Persons, I believe that Thou art here present. I adore Thee with the deepest humility, And render to Thee with my whole heart the homage which is due to Thy Sovereign Majesty. Grant me the grace to pray as I ought. Act of Faith O my God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three divine Persons, The Father, The Son, And the Holy Ghost. I believe that Thy divine Son became man, And died for our sin, And that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, Because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived. Act of Hope O my God, Relying on Thy almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, The help of Thy grace, And life everlasting. Through the merits of Jesus Christ, My Lord and Redeemer. Act of Love O my God, I love Thee above all things, With my whole heart and soul, Because Thou art all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, And ask pardon of all whom I have injured. Let us thank God for His many graces and offer ourselves up to Him. Act of Gratitude O my God, I most humbly thank Thee for all the favors Thou hast bestowed upon me to the present moment. I give Thee thanks from the bottom of my heart that Thou hast created me after Thy known image and likeness, That Thou hast redeemed me by the precious blood of Thy dear Son. And that Thou hast preserved me and brought me safe to the beginning of another day. I offer to Thee, O Lord, My thoughts, Words, Actions, And sufferings of this day. I consecrate them all to the glory of Thy name, Beseeching Thee that through the infinite merits of Jesus Christ, My Savior, They may all find acceptance in Thy sight. May Thy divine love animate them, And may they all tend to Thy greater glory. Let us make a firm resolution to avoid evil and do good. Adorable Jesus, My Savior and Master, Model of all perfection, I resolve and will endeavor this day to imitate Thine example. To be like Thee, Mild, Humble, Obedient, Chaste, Zealous, Patient, Charitable, And resigned, I will redouble my efforts that I may not fall this day into any of those sins which I have heretofore committed, And which, With Thy gracious assistance, I sincerely desire to forsake. Let us beg God the graces which are necessary to us. O my God, Thou knowest my poverty and weakness, And that I am unable to do anything good without Thee. Deny me not, O God, The help of Thy grace, Proportionate to my necessities. Give me strength to avoid everything evil which Thou forbiddest, And to practice the good which Thou hast promised. Command it, And enable me to bear patiently all the trials which it may please Thee to send me. Amen. In the name of the Father, And of the Son, And of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
