ACT OF REPARATION FOR THE FIRST SATURDAYS OF THE MONTH / by Joe Castorino

Prayer Shared by Fr. Chris Alar, MIC

O Most Holy Virgin,

And our Mother,

We listen with grief to the complaints

Of your Immaculate Heart,

Surrounded with the thorns placed therein

At every moment by the blasphemies

And ingratitude of ungrateful humanity.

We are moved by the ardent desire

Of loving you as our Mother,

And of promising a true devotion

To your Immaculate Heart.

We therefore kneel in spirit before you,

To manifest the sorrow we feel

For the grievances that people cause you,

And to atone by our prayers and sacrifices

For the offenses with which

They return your love.

Obtain for them and for us

The pardon of so many sins.

Hasten the conversion of sinners,

That they may love Jesus Christ,

And cease to offend the Lord,

Already so much offended.

Turn your eyes of mercy toward us,

That we may love God

With all our heart on earth,

And enjoy Him forever in Heaven.

Amen.
