COMMUNITY PRAYERS

Before Morning Prayers
At the first sound of the bell say:
Deo Gratias! To Thee, 0 God! do I devote my day and my night, my life and my death. Mary, Joseph and St. Vincent, pray for me! Take Holy Water and say: Wash me yet more and more from my iniquities and cleanse me from my sins, 0 Lord! Make the Morning Offering to the Sacred Heart.

While dressing say:
Clothe me, 0 Lord, with the robe of innocence, and adorn my heart, 0 Divine Spouse of my Soul, with all the virtues that are pleasing to Thee; especially with humility, obedience, purity, charity and an exact fidelity to my holy Rules and Vows.

When putting on the holy habit say:
0 Good Jesus, Divine Spouse of my soul, I thank Thee for this cherished token of my allegiance to Thee, and I beseech Thee, that, with Thy grace, I may preserve unsullied the wedding garment with which Thou didst invest my soul on the blessed day of my consecration to Thee.

Call to mind the subject of meditation, and your Particular Examination.
