ACT OF REPARATION
The Raccolta, ed. 1910, #209 Leo XIII March 21, 1885.
MOST glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of GOD, and our mother,
look with pity upon us poor sinners,
who, afflicted with so many miseries surrounding us in this life,
feel ourselves cut to the heart by the many horrible insults and blasphemies
which we are often constrained to hear uttered against thee, O Immaculate Virgin.
Oh, how these impious sayings offend the infinite Majesty of GOD, and JESUS CHRIST his only begotten SON!
How they provoke his anger, and give us cause to fear the terrible effects of his vengeance!
If the sacrifice of our lives could avail against such outrages and blasphemies, very willingly would we make it, for we desire, most holy Mother, to love and honour thee with all our hearts, such being the will of GOD.
And just because we love thee, we will do whatever lies in our power to make thee loved and honoured by all.
And do thou, Mother of pity, supreme consoler of the afflicted,
accept this act of reparation offered to thee, in our name and in the name of all our families, and on behalf of those who, not knowing what they say, impiously blaspheme thee; that so, by obtaining from GOD
their conversion,
thy glorious compassion,
thy power,
and thy great mercy may become more manifest,
and they too may join with us in proclaiming thee blessed amongst women,
the Immaculate Virgin, the most compassionate Mother of GOD.
Ave Maria thrice.
Glorious Archangel St Michael and thou, O be loved disciple St John,
offer to JESUS this my act of reparation, and be propitious to me.
Amen.
