INTRODUCTORY
PRAYERS

Formulating an Intention of Reparation

O Jesus, we offer Thee this meditation as an act of reparation for sins committed against the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.

May this, our little but fervent act of devotion and reparation, bring consolation to that same
Most Pure Heart, which ungrateful men pierce and afflict at every moment, as if with cruel thorns,
by their blasphemies and ingratitude. And may our offerings move Thy mercy to forgive those poor
sinners who have had the misfortune of offending the Heart of so great and loving a Mother.

Invoking Heaven's Assistance

Come, Holy Ghost! Come by means of the powerful intercession
of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Thy well beloved Spouse!

Hail Mary, Full of Grace! The Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou amongst women, and blessed is the
Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our
death. Amen.
