O most holy and worthy Mother of God, impart abundantly to all mankind, thy children, the milk of grace and mercy.

               Hail, Mary, conceived without sin, mysterious vine which has produced the Divine Grape, destined to be crushed in the wine-press of the Cross, whence issued a sacred wine that was deposited in the precious vase of thy Immaculate Heart, to be distilled upon the children whose Mother thou didst become upon Calvary’s mount.

               O Divine Infant Jesus, I adore thee on thy Blessed Mother’s bosom. Yes, O Divine Infant, in this state of humiliation and littleness thou art as worthy of our love, our homage, and adoration as when thou didst cure the sick, raise the dead to life, and command the winds and waves.

               Here do I contemplate thee, silent and unknown, adoring thy Eternal Father’s counsels upon thy life and dolorous Passion. Already is the Cross planted in thy Heart; thou dost only await the hour marked by thy Heavenly Father for thee to fulfil His will.

               Hail, Queen of Martyrs! Whose precious blood, blanched by maternal piety, flowed for fifteen months from thy virginal bosom to fill the sacred veins of the King of Martyrs.

               O holy Virgin, how pure and admirable thou art! The Holy Ghost seems ever occupied with thee. At thy birth I hear him saying in His Divine Council: “Our Sister is little. . . . What shall we do with our Sister in the day when she is to be spoken to?”

               O mystery ineffable! He who eternally reposes in the Bosom of the Father rests at the same time in the bosom of a humble Virgin. I adore thee, most Holy Infant Jesus, in that royal shrine surrounded by roses and lilies; my soul experiences joy inexpressible at beholding thee dwelling in that House of Gold built by Supreme Wisdom.

               Come forth, O Divine Jesus, from the virginal prison where love holds Thee captive; give me the consolation of beholding and adoring Thee, and in a state that I may embrace thee. Let us rejoice; the day of joy hath come at last, and the angels sing in heavenly strains, “Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace to men of good will!” The hour of man’s salvation has dawned. Behold his Saviour, born of Mary. O earth, thou didst become a heaven on that day eternally memorable. O glorious Mother of God, my hopes are realized, my yearning satisfied, now that I find Jesus, my Redeemer, in thy holy arms, resting upon thy maternal bosom, nourished with thy virginal milk. I hear the heavenly Spouse felicitating thee on thy blessed maternity. Yes, thou art beautiful in the eyes of thy Spouse, because thou hast preserved intact the beautiful flower of virginity. While angels in heaven sing the eternal canticle of the thrice Holy God, we on earth sing the virginal canticle of the Mother thrice a virgin. O grandeur of Mary! O incomparable privilege! O mystery of love!

               Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus, whom thou didst nourish during fifteen months with thy virginal milk.

               We give thee thanks, O Blessed Virgin Mary, for the great love with which thou didst suckle the King of Heaven, and we bless thy maternal tenderness.

               Eternal Father, we offer thee the Incarnate Word, a Babe at His Blessed Mother’s breast, rendering Thee by this lowly action perfect praise for the honour and glory of Thy Holy Name.

               O most holy and sweet Mother of God, remember thou art my Mother and that I am the little sister of the Holy Infant Jesus.

               Thy Divine Son has left upon thy bosom the charming virtues of His Holy Infancy, and He sends me to gather this celestial dew, which will fill my soul with purity, innocence, and simplicity.

               Receive, O Virgin and Mother, these fifteen salutations in memory of the fifteen months during which thou didst nurse the Lamb of God, born in the stable of Bethlehem.

               O holy and august Mother, what dost thou do? “I give my milk to Him who hath given me being.” And what will become of this milk? “It will become His Flesh and the Blood of His veins. This Flesh which I give Him will suffer the torments of His Passion, and this Blood obtained from me will be shed upon the Cross for the salvation of sinners.

               O angels of Heaven, what think ye of this prodigy? It was once your mission to give man delicious food on earth by showering manna from Heaven, and this was truly a great miracle. But behold now, with admiration inexpressible, the Virgin Mother, Your Queen, nourishing God Himself, her Creator and yours.

               O Divine Blood of Jesus, refresh the earth that it may bring forth elect souls.

(Our Lord promised that all who would thus honor Him should receive great blessings, that they would be especially assisted by His Blessed Mother, and that He would grant all their petitions. Holy Church keeps the Feast of the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin on the second Sunday in October.)

Eternal Father, turn Thine offended eyes from the culpable (Country), whose face has become hideous in Thy eyes, and look upon the Face of Thy Son which we offer thee – this well-beloved Son, in whom Thou art well pleased.  Listen, we beseech Thee, to the voice of His blood and His wounds, which cry out for mercy.

Eternal Father, behold all the desires, all the thoughts, words, actions, virtues, perfections, and prayers, of Jesus Christ; also all His sufferings and humiliations.  We offer them to Thee, etc.

Eternal Father, behold the Cross, the nails, the crown of thorns, the reed, the bloody scourge, the column, the lance, the sepulchre, the winding-sheet, and all the instruments which were used in the Passion of Jesus, Thy Divine Son.  We offer them to Thee, etc.

March 15, 1844 Our Lord revealed the following to Sister Marie De Saint Pierre

“You cannot understand,” He said to her one day, “the malice and abomination of this sin. If my justice were not restrained by my mercy it would instantly crush the guilty, and all creatures, even inanimate ones, would rise up to avenge my outraged honor.” “After this,” the Sister adds,” he showed me the excellence of the Work of Reparation; how it surpasses all other devotions, is agreeable to God, to the angels, the saints, and is useful to the Church. Ah! If you knew the degree of glory you acquire in making but a single act of Reparation for blasphemy, in saying only once, in the spirit of Reparation, ‘Admirable is the Name of God’!”

Sr. Marie De Saint Pierre Composed the 24 Acts of Reparation!

Begin with the Magnificat, (Lk 1: 46-55)

My soul proclaims the greatness the Lord, My spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and His children forever.

0 almighty and eternal God, it is by the Heart of Jesus, Thy divine Son, my way, my truth and my life, that I draw near to Thee. I come, through this adorable Heart, in union with the holy angels, and with all the Saints, to praise, bless, adore and glorify Thy holy Name, despised and blasphemed by so great a number of sinners. Accompanying, by my desires, the blessed Spirits, ministers of Thy mercy, I go all over the world in order to seek for souls bought by the blood of Thy only Son. I offer them all to Thee by the hands of the holy Virgin and of glorious Saint Joseph, under the protection of the angels and of all the Saints, begging of Thee, in the Name and through the merits of Jesus our Saviour, to convert all blasphemers and all who profane the holy day of Sunday, in order that we may all with one voice, one soul and one heart, praise, bless, love, adore and glorify Thy holy Name, in the heights, the depths, the breadths, the immensity, the fullness of the honour, the praise and the infinite adorations that the sacred Heart of Thy well beloved Son renders to Thee; that Heart which is the organ and the delight of the most Holy Trinity, and which alone knows and perfectly adores Thy holy

Name in spirit and in truth.  Amen.

Pardon, pardon, 0 my God, for the innumerable souls which are being lost, every day, around us. The devil rushes forth from the abyss, hurrying to make horrible conquests; he excites the infernal band; he exclaims: Souls, souls! Let us hasten to ruin souls! — And souls fall like autumn leaves into the eternal abyss. We also, 0 my God, we will cry: Souls! Souls! We must have souls, wherewith to acquit the debt of gratitude we have contracted towards Thee; we ask them of Thee by the wounds of Jesus, our Saviour. These adorable wounds cry out to Thee even as so many powerful mouths. The King crowned with thorns demands subjects torn from the devil; we ask them from Thee, together with him and by him, for Thy greater glory, and by the intercession of the most holy Virgin Mary, conceived without sin.

Amen.
