Several traditional forms for consecrating the first moments and duties of the day to God, with a direct bridge to Prime.
Loading the liturgical day and its saints…
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
Domine Deus omnipotens, qui ad principium huius diei nos pervenire fecisti: Tua nos hodie salva virtute; ut in hac die ad nullum declinemus peccatum, sed semper ad Tuam iustitiam faciendam nostra procedant eloquia, dirigantur cogitationes et opera. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
O Iesu, per Immaculatum Cor Mariae, offero Tibi preces, opera, gaudia et passiones huius diei, ad omnes intentiones Sacratissimi Cordis Tui. Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
O Lord God almighty, who hast brought us to the beginning of this day: save us today by Thy power, that we may fall into no sin, but that our words, thoughts and works may be directed to the fulfilment of Thy justice. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee the prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart. Amen.
Im Namen des Vaters und des Sohnes und des Heiligen Geistes. Amen.
Allmächtiger Herr und Gott, Du hast uns den Anfang dieses Tages erreichen lassen. Bewahre uns heute durch Deine Macht, damit wir in keine Sünde fallen, sondern unsere Worte, Gedanken und Werke stets auf die Erfüllung Deiner Gerechtigkeit gerichtet seien. Durch Christus, unsern Herrn. Amen.
O Jesus, durch das Unbefleckte Herz Mariens opfere ich Dir die Gebete, Arbeiten, Freuden und Leiden dieses Tages auf, für alle Anliegen Deines heiligsten Herzens. Amen.
Make the Sign of the Cross, adore the Most Holy Trinity, offer the day, make the acts of faith, hope and charity, invoke Our Lady and the Guardian Angel, and ask grace to avoid sin.
Add the Our Father, Hail Mary, Creed, the Angelus or Regina Caeli, a short reading from the Gospel, and the intentions of the Church and family.
The simplified morning rule does not replace the public prayer of the Church. Prime consecrates the beginning of work by psalmody, the profession of faith and the prayer Dirigere et sanctificare.
