Saint Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle; be our defense

against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,

by the power of God

thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits

who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

 

 

 

Sancte Michael Archángele,

defénde nos in prælio;

contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium.

Imperet illi Deus, súpplices deprecámur;

tuque, Princeps militiae cæléstis,

Sátanam aliósque spíritus malignos,

qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo,

divina virtúte in inférnum detrúde.

Ámen.

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.

ADDITIONAL PRAYER - VENI SANCTE SPIRITUS

 

Veni, Sancte Spiritus,
et emitte caelitus

lucis tuae radium.

Veni, pater pauperum,
veni, dator munerum,
veni, lumen cordium.

Consolator optime,
dulcis hospes animae,
dulce refrigerium.

In labore requies,
in aestu temperies,
in fletu solatium.

O lux beatissima,
reple cordis intima

tuorum fidelium.

Sine tuo numine,
nihil est in homine,
nihil est innoxium.

Lava quod est sordidum,
riga quod est aridum,
sana quod est saucium.

Flecte quod est rigidum,
fove quod est frigidum,
rege quod est devium.

Da tuis fidelibus,
in te confidentibus,
sacrum septenarium.

Da virtutis meritum,
da salutis exitum,
da perenne gaudium.
