Prayer in honour of the Holy Name of Jesus

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and ineffable Name of Jesus be always praised, blessed, loved, and glorified, in heaven, on earth and under the earth, by all creatures visible and invisible, now and for all eternity. Amen. 🙏💖💐

Prayer of Reparation for Offenses Made against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O merciful Jesus, my King and my God, I worship You.

O Blessed Mother, Mary Immaculate, I cherish you.

For those who offer you insult, I offer you praise.

For those who offer you mocking, I offer you honour.

For those who offer you disbelief, I offer you trust.

For those who offer you hate, I offer you love.

For those who offer you cursing, I offer you blessing.

For those who offer you ridicule, I offer you loving gazes.

For those who offer you blasphemy, I offer you adoration.

For those who offer you rebellion, I offer you obedience.

For those who offer you indifference, I offer you devotion.

For those who offer you obstinate pride, I offer you a contrite heart.

For those who offer you scorn, I offer you fidelity.

Soften the hearts of those who offend you, that they may come to know you and love you as you deserve.

Make my heart more fervent so I may pray without ceasing for the conversion and salvation of souls. Amen. 🙏💐💖
