Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Most Holy Virgin, and our beloved Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of thy Immaculate Heart, surrounded with thorns which ungrateful men place therein at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Moved by the ardent desire of loving thee as our Mother and of promoting true devotion to thy Immaculate Heart, we prostrate ourselves at thy feet to prove the sorrow we feel for the grief that men cause thee and to atone by means of our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which men return thy tender love. Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. A word from thee will obtain grace and forgiveness for us all. Hasten O Lady, the conversion of sinners, that they may love Jesus and cease to offend God, already so much offended, and thus avoid eternal punishment. Turn thine eyes of mercy toward us so that henceforth we may love God with all our hearts while on earth and enjoy Him forever in Heaven. Amen. NOVENA PRAYER O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of all Hearts, behold us here humbly kneeling before Thee. With shame and regret we acknowledge that we have offended and hurt Thee and Thy Son by our sins, our indifference and neglect. We deserve nothing but punishment, but, dear Mother, what would become of us were we to be abandoned by Thee? That, we know, will never happen if we but turn to Thee and come to Thee as little children. Grant us, dear Mother an ever increasing love of Thee and Thy Son, and detachment from all things that take us away from Thee. Give us heartfelt sorrow for our faults and sins, a firm purpose of amendment, and a fire of love that will express itself in acts of penance done lovingly and eagerly for the wrongs done by ourselves and others. When Thou hast granted us this, we are confident that Thy Immaculate Heart will not cease to bestow favors upon us, and that Thou wilt grant us, if it be to the glory of God, and for the good of souls, the petitions which we have placed at Thy feet. May the Immaculate Heart be loved and praised by all men and Angels, forever and ever. Amen. PRAISES OF MARY Thou art all beautiful, O Mary, and the stain of Original Sin is not in Thee. Thou art the bright and Morning Star. Thou art the hope of those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. Thou art the Tree of Life, O Mary, he who is nourished by Thee shall live forever. Thou art the Gate of Heaven, O Mother beloved, and no one shall enter save through Thee. Thou art the City of Peace, O Mary, and all who dwell in Thee shall find abiding rest. Thou art the Heaven of the Lord, in Thee He dwells with exceeding gladness. Immaculate art Thou, O Virgin of virgins, and the mountain snows are not so pure as Thee. Thou art exalted above all the children of men, and Thou shalt reign forever and ever. In Thee, O Mary, is loveliness beyond all telling, for the glory of the Lord is in Thee. Thou art the Garden of God, O my Beloved, in Thee are the fragrance and beauty of all the virtues. Thou art strong and mighty and glorious, O Mary, and the enemies of God shall flee before Thy face. Thou art the Evening Star, O Mary, and Thou shalt guide our way through the night even to the dawn. Hymn: O Sanctissima O Sanctissima, O purissima, dulcis Virgo Maria. Mater amata, intemerata, ora, ora pro nobis. Tota pulchra es, O Maria et macula non est in te. Mater amata, intemerata, ora, ora pro nobis.
