Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Most Holy Virgin, and our Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of thy Immaculate Heart, surrounded with the thorns which ungrateful men place therein at every moment. Moved by the ardent desire of loving thee as our Mother, and of promoting a 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 our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which they return thy 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 thine eyes of mercy toward us, that we may love God with all our heart on earth and enjoy Him for ever in heaven. Amen.
