Morning Offering — Divine Mercy

Pray with St. Faustina, asking that the whole self be transformed into mercy for the neighbor.

O Lord, I want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbor.

Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbors' souls and come to their rescue.

Help me, O Lord, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbors' needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings.

Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbor, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all.

Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbors and take upon myself the most difficult and toilsome tasks.

Help me, O Lord, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbor, overcoming my own fatigue and weariness.

Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbor. May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me.

And to seal the offering:

Jesus, I trust in You.

About this prayer

The morning act of the soul devoted to Divine Mercy — the day offered to be transformed into Christ's own mercy and to become a living reflection of it for one's neighbor.

History

Drawn from St. Maria Faustina Kowalska's *Diary* (notably §163), this morning act distills the heart of the Divine Mercy devotion as Our Lord revealed it to her: the soul that asks to be wholly transformed into mercy, that her eyes, ears, tongue, hands, feet, and heart may be merciful — every faculty given over so that mercy may pass through her to others. The Hour of Mercy will follow at three, but here the day begins.

How to pray it

Pray slowly upon waking. Each clause names a faculty that mercy must pass through — let the prayer settle as a real commitment, not a list. End with the trust aspiration Jesus asked of St. Faustina: *Jesus, I trust in You.*
