Prayer Before the Little Office


Open Thou my mouth, O Lord, to bless thy holy name: cleanse my heart also from all vain, perverse and distracting thoughts: enlighten my understanding, inflame my affections, that I may recite this Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary with worthy attention and devotion, and may deserve to be heard in the sight of thy divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, I offer these Hours to Thee, in union with that divine intention wherewith Thou didst Thyself offer praises to God, while Thou wast on earth.
