Litany of Reparation

3rd Sorrowful Mystery Gefroh Family Rosary Picture Collection.

Thanks to Sue for sharing this one.


Litany of Reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which Christ is offended by those who receive the Blessed Sacrament unworthily and for the healing of all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ.

Taken from the booklet: Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet during Adoration for the Sick and the Dying. Pope John Paul II gave his Apostolic Blessing to those who pray it during an hour of Adoration.

Christ told St. Faustina, that those who pray the chaplet for those in their hour of dying, 'I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the Just Judge but as the Merciful Savior.' (1541).

Please pass this on to those who are sick that they may be healed and the dying that they will receive salvation through Divine Mercy.

Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us.
God, the Father of Mercy, response; have mercy on us.
God, the Son, Mediator between God and man, *
God, the Holy Spirit, Enlightener of hearts, *
Holy and undivided Trinity, *
O Sacred Host, Victim of reparation for the sins of the world, *
O Sacred Host, immolated on the altar for us and by us, *
O Sacred Host, despised and neglected, *
O Sacred Host, outraged by the blasphemies of men, *
O Sacred Host, neglected and abandoned in Your temples, *
Be merciful unto us, spare us O Lord,
Be merciful unto us, hear us O Lord,
For so many unworthy Communions, we offer You our
reparation O Lord,
For the irreverence of Christians, have mercy on us,
For the continual blasphemies of the impious, *
For the infamous discourses made in Your holy temples, *
For the crimes of sinners, *
For the sacrileges which profane Your sacrament of Love, *
For the coldness of Your children, *
For their contempt of Your loving invitations, *
For the infidelity of those who call themselves Your friends, *
For the abuse of Your grace, *
For our unfaithfulness, *
For our delay in loving You, *
For our tepidity in Your holy service,*
For Your bitter sadness at the loss of souls, *
For Your long waiting at the door of our hearts, *
For Your loving sighs, *
For Your loving tears, *
For Your loving imprisonment, *
For Your loving death, *
That You spare us, that You hear us, we sinners beseech You, hear us,
That You will make known Your love for us in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, have mercy on us,
That You will vouchsafe to accept our reparation made in the spirit of humility, have mercy on us,
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, spare us O Lord,
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, hear us O Lord,
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us O Lord.

Optional conclusion:
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair or become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will which is love and mercy itself (950).

Recite the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
Conclusion prayer:
O Blood and water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of mercy for us, we trust in You! (say three times.)

Hi Esther, This is a wonderful Prayer. Tomorrow starts the Divine Mercy Novena for Mercy Sunday. I am hoping you are going to run it or have a "clickable" site to one of your friends. I don't have that booklet any longer and I'd like to do the novena. How about you?
