ACT OF REPARATION ON FIRST SATURDAYS

In addition to the following posts, I thought I'd post this prayer that might make our Blessed Mother pleased.  Hope you use it on first Saturdays.




ACT OF REPARATION TO BE RECITED ON THE FIRST SATURDAYS


O most holy Virgin and our Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns which ungrateful men place therein at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Moved by the ardent desire of loving you as our Mother and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart, we prostrate ourselves at your feet to prove the sorrow we feel for the grievances that men cause you, and to atone, by means of our prayers and sacrifices, for the offenses with which men return your tender love.

Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. A word from you will obtain grace and amendment for us all.


Hasten, O Lady, the conversion of sinners, that they may love Jesus and cease to offend the Lord, already so much offended, and will not fall into hell.

Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, that henceforth we may love God with all our heart while on earth and enjoy Him forever in heaven, Amen.

 

In regards to these prayers, I'm adding the 'Secret' from today's Mass, the Saturday after the 2nd Sunday of Lent. 
 
O Lord, be appeased by these sacrifices, and grant that we who pray to be pardoned for our own sins, may not be burdened with those of others.  Through our Lord... 


(Oddly enough, this prayer is NOT in the 1962 Missal that we are supposed to use for the Traditional Mass, but it IS in the 1957 version.  Go figure!)
