Eucharistic Reflection - Our Gift Of Reparation

(Image Source- Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament)

"Beloved Jesus, notwithstanding twenty centuries of Your nearness and friendship, we have not yet penetrated, as we should have, the mystery of love in Your divine Eucharist. In reparation for this lack of understanding, we offer You Mary's affection, and the love of her maternal Heart.

Adorable Jesus, we owe You yet another apology. We feel remorse for not loving You with the burning charity with which we should repay Your love. Notwithstanding Your generosity and Your unbelievable tenderness, our love is still far too measured...

Jesus, Love of our love and Life of our life, turn way Your adorable eyes from our failings and our lukewarmness; turn them away from the forgetfulness of our good resolutions, from the weakness that prevents us from keeping our repeated promises to become better - to become saints.  For love of Mary, Your Mother and ours, pardon us, Jesus! As reparation for our coldness, we offer You the love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary; take it, accept it as the most perfect adoration on our part."

(Rev.Mateo Crawley-Boevey, SS.CC. from Twenty Holy Hours)

MOST AMIABLE JESUS "I humbly implore Thee by Thy ignominious Scourging, The Crowning with Thorns, Thy Holy Cross, and by all Thy Goodness, not to permit me to pass out of this world without having received Thy most holy Sacraments." -Prayer of St. Vincent Ferrer

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
