The Morning Offering is an act by which a Catholic intentionally offers all the works of the coming day – prayers, labors, joys, and sufferings – to God through Jesus Christ. Traditionally, it is made immediately upon waking, before engaging in conversation, work, or entertainment.
“O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass said throughout the world, for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, and in particular for the traditional intentions of the Holy Father, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart, and [state personal intentions here]. Amen.”

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.
