ACT
OF REPARATION TO
THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair the outrages unceasingly offered
to Thee, we prostrate before Thy throne of mercy, and in the name of all
mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee.
The more Thy mysteries are
blasphemed, the more firmly we shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of Jesus!
The more impiety endeavors to
extinguish our hope of immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy Heart, sole
Hope of mankind!
The more hearts resist Thy Divine
attractions, the more we shall love Thee, O infinitely amiable Heart of Jesus!
The more unbelief attacks Thy
Divinity, the more humbly and profoundly we shall adore It, O Divine Heart of
Jesus!
The more Thy holy laws are
transgressed and ignored, the more we shall delight to observe them, O most
holy Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Sacraments are despised
and abandoned, the more frequently we shall receive them with love and
reverence, O most generous Heart of Jesus!
The more the imitation of Thy
virtues is neglected and forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to practice
them, O Heart, Model of every virtue!
The more the devil labors to destroy
souls, the more we shall be inflamed with desire to save them, O Heart of
Jesus, zealous Lover of souls!
The more sin and impurity destroy
the image of God in man, the more we shall try by purity of life to be a living
temple of the Holy Spirit, O Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Holy Church is
despised, the more we shall endeavor to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart
of Jesus!
The more Thy Vicar on earth is
persecuted, the more will we honor him as the infallible head of Thy Holy
Church, show our fidelity and pray for him, O kingly Heart of Jesus!
O Sacred Heart, through Thy powerful
grace, may we become Thy apostles in the midst of a corrupted world, and be Thy
crown in the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.
Our Lady, Mother of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us.
