Litany of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

 

O Sacred Heart, hear us.

Sacred Heart, graciously hear us.

For the forgetfulness and ingratitude of men,

We will console Thee, O Lord.

For the way Thou art deserted in Thy Tabernacle, We will console Thee, O Lord

For the crimes of sinners, We will console Thee, O Lord

For the blasphemies uttered against Thee, We will console Thee, O Lord

For the sacrileges which profane Thy Sacrament of Love, We will console Thee, O Lord

For the coldness of the greater part of Thy children, We will console Thee, O Lord

For the abuse of Thy grace, We will console Thee, O Lord

For our own unfaithfulness, We will console Thee, O Lord

For the incomprehensible hardness of our hearts, We will console Thee, O Lord

For our long delay in loving Thee, We will console Thee, O Lord

For Thy bitter sadness at the loss of souls, We will console Thee, O Lord

For Thy long waiting at the door of our hearts, We will console Thee, O Lord

For Thy loving sighs, We will console Thee, O Lord

For Thy loving tears, We will console Thee, O Lord

For Thy loving imprisonment, We will console Thee, O Lord

For Thy loving death. We will console Thee, O Lord

Learn of Me:

Because I am meek and humble of heart.

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who know Thee not,

Have mercy on me as Thou seest best. 

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who do not believe in Thee, Have mercy on me as Thou seest best.

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who are inconstant and ungrateful, Have mercy on me as Thou seest best.

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow during the whole course of Thy mortal life, Have mercy on me as Thou seest best.

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow in Thy agony and in Thy death, Have mercy on me as Thou seest best.

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who neglect their eternal salvation, Have mercy on me as Thou seest best.

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who offer the most Holy Sacrifice unworthily, Have mercy on me as Thou seest best.

Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for the scarcity of those who love Thee fervently, Have mercy on me as Thou seest best.

Sweet Heart of Jesus:

Be not my Judge but my Saviour.

O Jesus, loveliest of all beauty, wash me more and more from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin, that, purified by Thee, I may approach to Thee, the pure One, and may be worthy to dwell in "Thy Heart all the days of my life, that I may both see and do Thy will. For this cause was Thy side pierced, that an entrance might be opened for us. Who is there who would not love this wounded Heart? Who would not return love for love to Him that hath loved so well? Amen.

O adorable Heart of Jesus, if men did but know Thee: How they would love Thee!
