necessities, by your powerful intercession.
Protect, O most provident guardian of the holy family, the chosen children of Jesus Christ, ward off
from us, O most loving father, all taint of error and corruption; in our struggle with the powers of

and the whole human race. Reign over us and teach us how to make the heart of Jesus reign and

that we may be yours in prosperity and in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in
life and in death.

want to be pure like you. We want to atone for the many crimes committed against Jesus and You. We
want to call down upon our country and the whole world, the peace of God injustice and charity.
Therefore, we now promise to imitate Your virtues, by the practice of a Christian life, without regard to

ACT OF REPARATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
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 express the sorrow we feel
for the grievances that men cause thee. We want to atone by means of our prayers and sacrifices for the
offences which men return for your tender love! Obtain for them and us the pardon for our so many
sins. A word from you will obtain grace and amendment for us all. Hasten O Mother, the conversion of
the Sinners that they may love Jesus and cease to offend the Lord, whom they have already so much
offended. Turn your eyes of mercy towards us, that henceforth we may love God with all our hearts
while on earth, and enjoy Him forever in Heaven. Amen.
