ACT OF REPARATION
O good Jesus, in gratitude for Thy many Graces, and in sorrow for many abuses of these Graces, I wish at this moment, both for myself, ever ungrateful and for the world, ever criminal, to make an Act of Solemn reparation. Listen then, O merciful Savior of our souls, listen to these Acts of faith, to these expressions of sorrow:
For the irreverence we have committed in the House of God.
• I wish to make reparation.
For the careless and distracted attendance at Sunday Mass.
• I wish to make reparation.
For our lack of preparation before, and our poor thanksgiving
after Holy Communion.
• I wish to make reparation.
For our failure to cooperate with Thy daily Graces.
• I wish to make reparation.
For our sins of pride and sensuality.
• I wish to make reparation.
For our bad example and the sins we have caused in others.
• I wish to make reparation.
For our tragic indifference to Thy Words of Holy Scripture and to the words of our Holy Father the Pope.
• I wish to make reparation.
For the deplorable untruths of heresy, for all deserters and apostates.
• I wish to make reparation.
For the pleasure-seeking and money-mad profaners of the Lord's Day.
• I wish to make reparation.
For the sacrilegious treatment of Thy Churches and Altars.
• I wish to make reparation.
For the diabolical agents of Hell, ever seeking whom they may.
• I wish to make reparation.
For the heartbreaking outrages committed by those who should be Thy greatest consolation.
• I wish to make reparation.
ACT OF CONTRITION
Forgive me my sins, O Lord, forgive me my sins; the sins of my youth, the sins of my age, the sins of my soul, the sins of my body, my idle sins, my serious voluntary sins, the sins I know, the sins I do not know; the sins I have concealed so long, and which are now hidden from my memory.
I am truly sorry for every sin, mortal and venial, for all the sins of my childhood up to the present hour.
I know my sins have wounded Thy Tender Heart, O my Savior.
Let me be freed from the bonds of evil through Thy most bitter Passion, O my Redeemer. O my Jesus, forget and forgive what I have been.
