Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O Most Holy Virgin Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns placed therein at every moment by the blasphemies and ingratitude of ungrateful humanity. We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart.
We therefore kneel before you to manifest the sorrow we feel for the grievances that people cause you, and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which they return your love. Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. Hasten the conversion of sinners that they may love Jesus and cease to offend the Lord, already so much offended. Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, that we may love God with all our heart on earth and enjoy Him forever in heaven. Amen.

     A PARENT’S PRAYER

                       Most merciful Jesus, I offer my children to You today. Please accept them and take care of them. No other person can understand my sorrows and anxieties and give me a greater help. Give me the grace to bring up my children as You want of me, because without Your help my work will not be fruitful. Purify my actions and enlighten my teachings before my children. Free them from sin, teach them to grow in love, protect them from bad company, help them in their studies, and make them loving and merciful to the poor, the unfortunate and the suffering people. Keep them in good health and may Your Holy Spirit help them to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. May they grow for the sake of God’s glory, the good of others and the satisfaction of their parents and when after death I appear before You, My judge, let Your mother take good care of my children. I promise hereafter I shall serve You, trust You and spread this devotion. Amen.
