AN ACT OF REPARATION FOR BLASPHEMIES AGAINST THE B. V. M.

Most glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, turn 
shine eyes in pity upon us, miserable sinners; we are sore 
afflicted by the many evils that surround us in this life, but 
especially do we feel our hearts break within us upon hearing the 
dreadful insults and blasphemies uttered against thee, O Virgin 
Immaculate. O how these impious sayings offend the infinite 
Majesty of God and of His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ! How 
they provoke His indignation and give us cause to fear the 
terrible effects of His vengeance! Would that the sacrifice of our 
lives might avail to put an end to such outrages and blasphemies; 
were it so, how gladly we should make it, for we desire, O most 
holy Mother, to love thee and to honor thee with all our hearts, 
since this is the will of God. And just because we love thee, we 
will do all that is in our power to make thee honored and loved by 
all men. In the meantime do thou, our merciful Mother, the supreme 
comforter of the afflicted, accept this our act of reparation 
which we offer thee for ourselves and for all our families, as 
well as for all who impiously blaspheme thee, not knowing what 
they say. Do thou obtain for them from Almighty God the grace of 
conversion, and thus render more manifest and more glorious thy 
kindness, thy power and thy great mercy. May they join with us in 
proclaiming thee blessed among women, the Immaculate Virgin and 
most compassionate Mother of God.
