An act of Reparation is given in atonement for the neglect
and contempt of men toward the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The following prayer should be made often.
An Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
overflowing with love for all people
and so empty of the love due to Thee,
behold us prostrate before You,
eager to repair the damage caused to Your Heart
by the hateful actions, neglect and indifference
heaped upon Your Heart by the people you
love so much.
We are mindful, Lord, that we ourselves
have failed to give You the Honor and Love
that You deserve,
and we pray that we will never allow ourselves
to wander from the love of Your Most Sacred Heart
again.
We grieve, O Lord, that people continue to
turn away from You in spite of Your love of them
and pray that by our words and deeds
we might bring as many of these to You as we
are able.
In the meantime, Lord,
please accept our offering of our small sacrifices
as reparation for all of the offenses committed
against Your Most Sacred Heart.
Count our sacrifices worthy although we know
that there is no sacrifice we can make
that will ever compare to the sacrifices
that You have made for us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I love you.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in you.
