Act of Reparation

O Good Jesus,

in gratitude for Thy many Graces,

I wish at this moment, both for myself,

ever ungrateful,

and for the world,

ever criminal,

to make an Act of Solemn Reparation.

Listen then, O merciful Savior of our souls,

listen to these Acts of Faith,

to these expressions of sorrow:

For the irreverence we have committed in the House of God -

I wish to make reparation.

For our careless and distracted attendance at Sunday Mass -

I wish to make reparation.

For our lack of preparation before, and our poor thanksgiving after Holy Communion -

I wish to make reparation.

For our failure to co-operate with Thy daily Graces -

I wish to make reparation.

For our sins of pride, sensuality and of our entire life -

I wish to make reparation.

For our bad example and the sins we have caused in others -

I wish to make reparations.

For our tragic indifference to Thy words of Holy Scripture and to the words of our Holy Father the Pope -

I wish to make reparations.

For the deplorable untruths of heresy, for all deserters, and apostates -

I wish to make reparations.

For the pleasure-seeking and money-mad profaners of the Lord's Day -

I wish to make reparations.

For the sacrilegious treatment of Thy Churches and Altars -

I wish to make reparations.

For the diabolical agents of Hell, ever seeking whom they may devour -

I wish to make reparations.

For the heartbreaking outrages committed by those who should be Thy greatest consolation -

I wish to make reparation.

"O Love neglected! O Goodness but too little known."
