Let us enter into this Sacred Time
with great love!
Let us unite ourselves with our Lord in a special way as we enter into the heart of Holy Week.  Let us spend time daily at the foot of the Cross and unite ourselves to His Sufferings, to love and adore Him and to make reparation.  This Holy Week, I beg you to listen ever more to His cry, to hear His anguish.  

Look!  There He is in the Garden,  He cries out to the Father, "Oh Father see how many will not care about that We are about to give them!  See how many will even purposely choose to reject Our Love!   Oh, Father, I want them to be one with You as I am one with You and yet how many will reject this gift."

Fly to him!  Say to Him to comfort His tortured soul, "Oh my Jesus I will accept your gift!  I will accept Your Love.  Oh, Jesus look at me and see the love that You have given me and which I wish to embrace.  Oh Jesus I am here in this place to offer reparation for those who are not and I beg Your mercy upon them and upon myself, for I know I too have rejected you at times.  Forgive me Lord for these times and help me to stay by Your side to receive Your gifts and Your Love.  May my presence here with you pour forth graces upon my own soul and upon the whole world and may it especially ease Your agony."

Below, we have listed a few prayers which are very appropriate for us, especially at this time of year: 
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.
