My most loving Jesus, / when I con- sider Thy tender Heart / ana behold It full of mercy and tenderness toward sinners, / 17 my own heart is filled with joy and confi- dence / that I shall be kindly welcomed by Thee. / Alas, how many times have I sin- ned! / But now, with Peter and with Mag- dalen, f I weep for my sins and detest them j because they offend Thee, who art infinite Goodness. / Ah, mercifully grant me pardon for them all; / and let me die, I ask it through Thy Sacred Heart, / let me die rather than offend Thee again; / at least let me live only to love Thee in return. / Our Father once and Glory be five times. Sweet Heart of my Jesus, Make me love Thee ever more and more. H. My Jesus, I bless Thy most humble Heart, / and I give Thee thanks that, / in giving It to me to be my example, / not only dost Thou urge me with strong pleadings to imitate It, / but even at the cost of Thine own great humiliations, / Thou dost point out and make plain to me the way of sal- vation. / Fool and ingrate that I am, / how far have I gone astray! / Pardon me; ( no longer shall pride rule in me, / but with a humble heart will I follow Thee / through the midst of tribulations and thus obtain my peace and salvation. / Do Thou give me strength and I wUl bless Thy Sacred Heart for ever. / Our Father once and Glory be five times.

My Jesus, I am filled with admira- tion / at the exceeding patience of Thy Sacred Heart, /and I thank Thee for having given us so many wondrous examples of un- wearied patience. / It grieves me that these Thine examples / reproach me in vain for my excessive delicacy, / shrinking as I do from the slightest pain. / O my dear Jesus, pour into my heart / a fervent and abiding love of tribulations, / of crosses, of mortifi- cation and penance, / so that, by following Thy footsteps to Calvary, / I may likewise come with Thee to the joys of paradise. / Our Father once and Glory be five times.

Yet we are not unmindful that we, too, / have had our part in this unworthy be- havior; / therefore are we moved to deep contrition, / and, above all, we beg Thy mercy for ourselves; / we are ready to atone, by this voluntary act of expiation, / for the crimes which we ourselves have commit- ted, / as also for the sins of those who, / 21 straying far from the way of salvation, either refuse, in the blindness of their unbelief, / to follow Thee, the Shepherd and Guide of their souls, / or who trample upon the vows of their Baptism / and shake off the sweet yoke of Thy law. / Not only are we anxious to expiate all these deplorable crimes, / but in an especial manner do we purpose to make reparation for these offenses: / immodesty and shame* ful excesses in life and dress; / the many snares of corruption laid for the souls of the ' innocent; / the neglect of holydays; / the hateful blasphemies that are hurled against Thee and Thy Saints; / the reproaches ut- tered against Thy Vicar on earth / and all the priestly order; / the neglect also, of the very Sacrament of Thy love, / as well as its ' profanation by horrifying sacrilege; / and finally the public sins of the nations in re- bellion against the just rights / and the teaching authority of the Church established by Thee. / Would that we were able to atone / for all these outrages even to the shedding of our blood! / Meanwhile, in order to atone for the violations of the honor due to Thee, / we offer unto Thee that selfsame satisfac- tion / which of old Thou didst offer to the Father / upon the holy Cross / and which from day to day Thou dost continually re- new / upon the altars of Thy Church. / To this we add the expiatory merits of Thy Virgin Mother, / of all Thy Saints and of the 22 devout faithful upon earth. / With all our hearts we promise to atone, / Thy grace assisting us, / for our own past sins > and those of all other men, / as also for our cold- ness towards Thine exceeding great love, / by a firm faith, spotless purity of life and the perfect fulfilment, / so far as in us lies, / of the law of the Gospel, / and in particular of the precept of charity. / We likewise pledge ourselves / in accord- ance with our strength / to prevent such injuries from being done to Thee, / and to invite as many as we can to follow Thee. / Accept, we pray Thee, most gracious Jesus, / through the intercession of Our Lady of Reparation, / this our free-will offering of reparation, / and be Thou pleased to keen us, / by the great gift of final perseverance, / faithful even unto death in our dutiful service of Thee, / so that in the end we may all come to that our true native land, / where Thou, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, / livest and reignest for ever and ever.

J To give myself to Thee is truly to my own advantage, / since it is to find for myself the inestimable treasure of a Heart, / so loving, unselfish and faithful, / even as I would wish my own to be. / Even so I can give 36 nothing and yet I am always receiving! / Lord, I could never vie with Thee in gen- erosity, / but I love Thee; / deign to accept graciously my poor heart, / and although it be worthless, / yet since Thou dost love it, / it may become something by Thy grace. / Make it good and have it in Thy keeping. / Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, / I consecrate to Thee all the faculties of my soul, / all the powers of my body; / I would strive to know Thee and love Thee ever more and more, / in order to make Thee better known and loved; / I would act only for Thy glory, / I would do only the will of Thy Father. / I consecrate to Thee every moment of my life / in a spirit of adoration before Thy real presence, / in a spirit of thanksgiving for this incomparable gift, / in a spirit of reparation for all our cruel indifference, / in a spirit of unceasing supplication that our prayers, / being offered through Thee, with Thee and in Thee, / may rise purified and enriched to the throne of God’s mercy unto His eternal glory.

Thou hast chosen me from my youth,/ Thou hast not despised mine infirmity; / entering into my poor heart,/ Thou comest to invite me to an exchange of love,/ and givest me happiness and peace./ And I, for my part, have lost all because I have been unfaithful, O Lord Jesus. / I have suffered my mind to go astray, / and my heart to grow cold; / have listened to my own voice and have forgotten Thee. / Thou wouldst have been my guide, / my counselor, the protector of my life, / whilst I, suffering my passions to deafen me to Thy loving call, / have failed to hear it, and have forgotten Thee. / In the midst of the salutary trials of our probation, / in the joys of consolation, / in all my difficulties and necessities, / instead of going to Thee, / I have sought creatures and have forgotten Thee. / I have forgotten Thee in Thy forsaken tabernacles / where Thy love languishes, / in the churches of the city where men insult Thee, / in indifferent and sacrilegious hearts and even in my own sinful heart, / O Jesus, both at the very moment of going up to receive Thee / and after having received Thee. / Eucharistic Heart of my Saviour, / joy of my first Communion / and of the days when 38 I was faithful, / I give myself to Thee; / return once more, draw me to Thyself anew, / forgive me even this time, / and I will expiate all by loving Thee. / Blessed Archangel Saint Michael and thou, / well-beloved Saint John, / offer up to God my act of reparation and be pro- pitious unto me.

V Prayer 59 A EUCHARISTIC Heart, O sovereign lovev of the Lord Jesus, / who didst institute this venerable Sacrament / in order to re- main here below in our midst / and to give to our souls Thy Flesh as meat / and Thy Blood as heavenly drink; / we firmly be- lieve, Lord Jesus, / in Thy supreme love which instituted the Holy Eucharist; / and here, before this sacred Host, / it is most meet that we should adore this love of Thine, / that we should praise and exalt it as the great source of life in Thy Church. / This love of Thine is for us a pressing in- vitation; / for Thou seemest to say to us: “See how much I have loved you! / In giv- ing you My Flesh to eat and My Blood to drink, / I desire by this union to awaken your charity and unite you to Myself; / I desire to transform your souls into Me, / the Crucified One, into Me, the Bread of 39 eternal life; / so give Me your hearts, live in My life, / and you shall live in God.” / We acknowledge, O Lord, / that such is the appeal of Thy Eucharistic Heart / and for it we give Thee hearty thanks. / Our hearts are ready, / yea, our hearts are ready to accept Thine invitation. / Give us the grace of being penetrated through and through by that supreme love, / wherewith Thou didst invite us, / even before Thy sacred passion, / to take and eat Thy holy Body. / Engrave deeply within our hearts the firm purpose of being ever faithful to Thy loving invita- tion. / Grant us such devotion and reverence as are needful to honor / and receive worthily the precious gift of Thy Eucha- ristic Heart, / the gift of Thy dying love. / Would that we were able thus, by the help of Thy grace, / to celebrate fruitfully the memorial of Thy passion, / to make due reparation for our offenses and our luke- warmness, / to nourish and increase our love for Thee, / and to preserve ever-living within our hearts and seed of a blessed eternity.

No. 250. 40 Litany of Reparation 17 OR the forgetfulness and ingratitude A of men, For the way Thou art deserted in Thy Tabernacle, For the crimes of sinners. For the blasphemies uttered against Thee, For the sacrileges which profane Thy Sacrament of Love, For the coldness of the greater part of Thy children. For the abuse of Thy grace, For our own unfaithfulness. For the incomprehensible hardness of our hearts, For our long delay in loving Thee, For Thy bitter sadness at the loss of souls. For Thy long waiting at the door of our hearts, For Thy loving sighs, For Thy loving tears. For Thy loving imprisonment. For Thy loving death. 41 We will console Thee, O Lord. O Jesus, Divine Savior, / from Whose Heart came forth this bitter complaint: / “I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none, / and for one that would comfort me, / and I found none,” / graciously accept the feeble con- solation we offer Thee, / and aid us so powerfully by Thy grace, / that we may for the time to come shun more and more / all that can displease Thee, / and prove our- selves in everything, /everywhere, and for- ever, / Thy most faithful and devoted chil- dren. / Act of Reparation A SWEET Jesus, Whose overflowing char-v ity for men / is requited by so much for- getfulness, / negligence and contempt, / be- hold us prostrate before Thy altar, / eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries, / to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject. / Mindful, alas, that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, / which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, / we humbly ask Thy pardon / and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation / not only for our own personal offenses; / but also for the sins of those, / who, straying far from the path of salva- tion, / refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow Thee, / their Shepherd and Leader, / 42 or, renouncing the vows of their Baptism, / have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy law. / We are now resolved to expiate / each and every deplorable outrage committed against Thee; / we are determined to make amends j for the manifold offenses against Christian modesty / in unbecoming dress and behavior, / for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent, / for the frequent violation of Sundays and holydays, / and the shocking blasphemies uttered against Thee and Thy Saints. / We wish also to make amends for the insults / to which Thy Vicar on earth and Thy priests are subjected, / for the profanation, / by conscious neglect or terrible acts of sacri- lege, j of the very Sacrament of Thy Divine love; / and lastly for the public crimes of nations, j who resist the rights and the teaching authority of the Church which Thou hast founded. / Would, O Divine Jesus, / we were able to wash away such abominations with our blood, j We now offer, in reparation for these violations of Thy Divine honor, / the satisfaction Thou didst once make to Thy eternal Father on the Cross / and which Thou dost continue to renew daily on our altars; / we offer it in union with the acts of atonement of Thy Virgin Mother / and all the Saints and of the pious faithful on earth; / and we sincerely promise to make recompense, / as far as we can with the help of Thy grace, / for all neglect of Thy great 43 love and for the sins / we and others have committed in the past. / Henceforth we will live a life of unwavering faith, / of purity of conduct, / of perfect observance of the precepts of the Gospel and especially that of charity. / We promise to the best of our power / to prevent others from offending Thee / and to bring as many as possible to follow Thee. / O Loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, / our model in reparation, deign to receive the voluntary offering / we make of this act of expiation; / and by the crowning gift of perseverance / keep us faithful unto death in our duty / and the allegiance we owe to Thee, / so that we may all one day come to that happy home, / where Thou with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen. / At the Ninth Hour (S O’clock P. M.) Q JESUS, my Savior, / how greatly am I indebted to Thee for having willed / that Thy Side should be opened with a spear, / that in the depth of Thy Heart we might behold Thy great love for us, / and for having permitted Thy holy Body, / when taken down from the Cross, / to be placed in the arms of Thy Blessed Mother, / who received it bathed in tears and with her 44 heart broken/ and pierced with most bitter grief./ I beseech Thee, O Lord,/ to pierce my heart with a true wound of love,/ to cleanse my soul from all its stains/ with the water that came out of Thy Side,/ and to heal its infirmities with the remedy of Thy Blood./ Grant me grace to share in the sorrows of Thy most holy Mother at the time of Thy Passion and Thy death. / Make me one of her faithful and devoted serv- ants, / that she may vouchsafe to take me under her protection / and to assist me in my trials and necessities,/ especially at the hour of my death./ (Dom Anthony de Molina, Carthusian, d. 1619.) 45 Petitions Through the Heart of Jesus QNCE, when it seemed to the Venerable Mary of the Incarnation that God was deaf to her prayers, she heard an interior voice saying to her: “Ask Me for it through the Heart of My Son. Through Him I will hearken to thy prayer.”) ... It is through the Heart of my Jesus, who is my way, my truth and my life, that I draw near to Thee, 0 Eternal Father. Through this divine Heart 1 adore Thee for all those who adore Thee not. I love Thee for all those who do not love Thee. I acknowledge Thee for all those who are wilfully blind, and who, despising Thee, do not acknowledge Thee. I wish through this divine Heart to fulfil the obli- gation of all human beings. I embrace them all to present them through It to Thee. Ah! grant that through this divine Heart they may have life.
