Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
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.
