Let us pray.

O Lord Jesus Christ, You have said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened to you." Grant, we beg of You, to us who ask it, the gift of Your most divine love, that we may ever love You with our whole heart, in word and deed, and never cease praising You.

Give us, O Lord, as much a lasting fear as a lasting love of Your Holy Name, for You, who live and are King for ever and ever, never fail to govern those whom You have solidly established in Your love. R. Amen.

Litany of the Departed

For the spirits who have fled
From the earth which once they trod;
For the loved and faithful dead,
We beseech the living God!
Oh! receive and love them!
By the grave where Thou Overt lying,
By the anguish of Thy dying,
Spread Thy wings above them;
Grant Thy pardon unto them,
Dona cis requiem!

Long they suffered here below,
Outward fightings, inward fears;
Ate the cheerless bread of woe,
Drank the bitter wine of tears:
Now receive and love them!
By Thy holy Saints departures,
By the witness of Thy martyrs,
Spread Thy wings above them.
On the souls in gloom who sit,
Lux eterna luceat!

Lord, remember that they wept,
When Thy children would divide;
Lord, remember that they slept
On the bosom of Thy Bride;
And receive and love them!
By the tears Thou couldst not smother;
By the love of Thy dear Mother,
Spread Thy wings above them.
To their souls, in bliss with Thee,
Dona pacem, Domini!

Grant our prayers, and bid them pray,
O thou Flower of Jesse's stem;
Lend a gracious ear when they
Plead for us, as we for them.
Deus Angelorum,
Dona cis requiem,
Et beatitudinem.
Cordibus eorum
Jesu, qui salutam das
Micat lumen animas!

Litany of Reparation

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.)

Litany of Humility

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved...
From the desire of being extolled ...
From the desire of being honored ...
From the desire of being praised ...
From the desire of being preferred to others...
From the desire of being consulted ...
From the desire of being approved ...
From the fear of being humiliated ...
From the fear of being despised...
From the fear of suffering rebukes ...
From the fear of being calumniated ...
From the fear of being forgotten ...
From the fear of being ridiculed ...
From the fear of being wronged ...
From the fear of being suspected ...

That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be esteemed more than I ...
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease ...
That others may be chosen and I set aside ...
That others may be praised and I unnoticed ...
That others may be preferred to me in everything...
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…
