Opening Prayer

Dear Lord, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, we offer Thee these prayers in reparation for the sins which offend God the most in these modern times–the sins of Blasphemy and the Profanation of Sunday and Thy Holy Days of Obligation.

One Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be To The Father

The Golden Arrow Prayer (Dictated by Our Lord to Sister Mary of St. Peter)

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this “Golden Arrow”, as torrents of graces streamed from It far the conversion of sinners.

Act of Reparation

For blasphemy and irreverence, to be recited at the monthly meeting of the Confraternity.

O God, infinitely worthy of all adoration and love, I prostrate myself at Thy feet, filled with grief for the blasphemies uttered against Thy Holy Name, and for the offenses committed against Thy divine worship and the observances of Thy Church.
O my God, this blasphemy is the profanation of that which is most holy in the height of Thine inaccessible sanctuary; it is an attack upon Thine infinite majesty; an outrage against the Face of Thy Divine Son; a crime without excuse, without any other motive than that wickedness which hates Thee, O God, infinitely worthy of all love!
We beg pardon, O Lord, a thousand times pardon, for these blasphemies. Would that we could prevent them by the sacrifice of all that we are or that we possess! At least it is in the sincerity of our hearts that we desire with all our power to combat this horrible crime, and for all we hear or know to offer instantly, by the merits of the Face of Thy Christ, our humble and sorrowful expiation.
But that which is most grievous to us is that, while blasphemy and infidelity daily increase, the adoration due to Thee diminishes. Alas! Now, even more than in the days of the prophet Ezechiel, men neglect and profane Thy holy days, because their hearts are given to idols. Slaves of avarice and of pleasure, they have no longer time for Thy worship nor attraction to Thine altars. The days set apart for Thy service are profaned by their worldliness or pleasure. They abandon Thine house; they fly from the preaching of Thy word; they despise the sacraments and grace of the sanctuary to give themselves to labors forbidden or to amusements still more criminal.
O Lord, grant us the grace to make reparation for this contempt and forgetfulness of Thee by the zeal and fervor of our adoration. Bless this Confraternity established under the invocation of the Adorable Face of Jesus Christ, that by its prayers and sacrifices it may bring back to Thy worship and to the observances of Thy Church the unfaithful who have strayed from Thee. Receive our vows and promises never to transgress Thy sacred precepts, neither in our own person nor by those who are under our charge; and, in every way possible to us, to procure the obedience and honor which are due to Thee.

May the most Adorable Name of the Lord be glorified for ever!
May the holy days of Thy Church be sanctified by all men! Amen.
