"When you awake in the morning, let it be your first thought to raise up your mind to God, to offer in His honor whatever you may have to do or suffer during the day, and to beseech Him to assist you by His holy grace. Then make the morning acts of a Christian--acts of love, of gratitude and acts of petition--resolving to spend the day as if it were to be the last of your life."

--St. Alphonsus Liguori
