ADORATION & THANKSGIVING
O Jesus, eternal God, I thank You for Your countless graces and blessings.
Let every beat of my heart be a new hymn of thanksgiving to You, O God.
Let every drop of my blood circulate for You, Lord.
My soul is one hymn in adoration of Your mercy.
I love You, God, for Yourself alone. (Diary of St. Faustina #1794)
EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE
Have you loved God with all your heart, soul, and mind?
Have you loved your neighbor as yourself?
Were there any difficult moments today?
ACT OF CONTRITION
My God, I believe in You, hope in You, and love You above all things with all my soul, with all my heart and with all my strength; I love You because You are infinitely good and worthy of being loved; and because I love You, I repent with all my heart of having offended You. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

thine eyes of mercy toward us;
And after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
