This is Episode 140 of the A Catholic Life Podcast. In today’s episode I address the morning offering. Among the many traditional Catholic devotions that have quietly faded from daily practice, few are as powerful—or as neglected—as the Morning Offering. This brief prayer, once taught universally to Catholic children and faithfully practiced by clergy and laity alike, ordered the entire day toward God and united every action, joy, and suffering to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Earlier generations of Catholics understood that the spiritual life does not begin at the altar alone but at the moment of waking. The Morning Offering sanctified time itself, consecrating the day before it could be claimed by distraction, sin, or tepidity.
