AN ACT
OF REPARATION FOR BLASPHEMIES AGAINST
THE BLESSED
VIRGIN MARY
Most glorious Virgin
Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, turn shine eyes in pity upon us,
miserable
sinners; we are sore afflicted by the many evils that surround us in
this
life, but especially do we feel our hearts break within us upon hearing
the dreadful insults and blasphemies uttered against thee, O Virgin
Immaculate.
O how these impious sayings offend the infinite Majesty of God and of
His
only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ! How they provoke His indignation and
give
us cause to fear the terrible effects of His vengeance! Would that the
sacrifice of our lives might avail to put an end to such outrages and
blasphemies;
were it so, how gladly we should make it, for we desire, O most holy
Mother,
to love thee and to honor thee with all our hearts, since this is the
will
of God. And just because we love thee, we will do all that is in our
power
to make thee honored and loved by all men. In the meantime do thou, our
merciful Mother, the supreme comforter of the afflicted, accept this
our
act of reparation which we offer thee for ourselves and for all our
families,
as well as for all who impiously blaspheme thee, not knowing what they
say. Do thou obtain for them from Almighty God the grace of conversion,
and thus render more manifest and more glorious thy kindness, thy power
and thy great mercy. May they join with us in proclaiming thee blessed
among women, the Immaculate Virgin and most compassionate Mother of God.
