Act of Reparation for the Acts of Insults to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Raccolta
O Blessed Virgin, Mother of God,
look down in mercy from Heaven, where thou art enthroned as Queen,
upon me, a miserable sinner, thine unworthy servant.
Although I know full well my own unworthiness,
yet in order to atone for the offenses that are done to thee by impious and blasphemous tongues,
from the depths of my heart I praise and extol thee as the purest,
the fairest, the holiest creature of all God's handiwork.
I bless thy Holy name,
I praise thine exalted privilege of being truly Mother of God, ever Virgin,
conceived without stain of sin, Mediatrix of the human race.
I bless the Eternal Father who chose thee in an especial way for His daughter;
I bless the Word Incarnate who took upon Himself our nature in thy bosom
and so made thee His Mother;
I bless the Holy Spirit who took thee as His bride.
All honor, praise and thanksgiving to the ever-blessed Trinity
who predestined thee and loved thee so exceedingly
from all eternity as to exalt thee above all creatures to the most sublime heights.
O Virgin, holy and merciful,
obtain for all who offend thee the grace of repentance,
and graciously accept this poor act of homage from me thy servant,
obtaining likewise for me from thy Divine Son the pardon and remission of all my sins.
Amen.
