Guard of Honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Prayer of Reparation

Jesus, Divine Savior, we ask You to cast a merciful glance upon us, Your Guards of Honor, united in faith, reparation, and love.  We place ourselves at Your feet with deep remorse for our own failings and those of our brothers and sisters.

For the way we have neglected Your Holy Name,

We wish to make reparation, Lord.

For the sacrileges and blasphemies of Your enemies,

We wish to make reparation, Lord.

For the disdain of Your holy laws and our failure to keep Sunday holy,

We wish to make reparation, Lord.

For neglecting Your Holy Tabernacle,

We wish to make reparation, Lord.

For the irreverence and indifference of those who approach Your altars,

We wish to make reparation, Lord.

For the way we resist the promptings of Your grace,

We wish to make reparation, Lord.

For the way we disobey Our Holy Mother, the Church,

We wish to make reparation, Lord.

For the carelessness, the coldness, and the ingratitude of Your children,

We wish to make reparation, Lord.

Lord Jesus, in order that we may cooperate in the building-up of Your Kingdom, grant that, in answer to the supreme desire of Your Heart, we may one day be consecrated in Unity, in this way bringing to completion the work of Your glory and our salvation.  Amen.
