Eternal Father,
I offer Thee the Sacred heart of Jesus,
with all Its love,
all Its sufferings and all Its merits;
To expiate all the sins I have committed this day,
and during all my life.

Glory be to the Father, etc…
History of Prayer of Reparation
The Prayer of Reparation is a Catholic prayer focused on atoning for sin and making amends to God for offenses committed against Him. It is a prayer of penitence and humility, expressing remorse and seeking forgiveness for wrongs done.
The history of the Prayer of Reparation dates back to the early Christian Church, where it was used by the faithful to seek forgiveness for their sins. Over time, it became a more formalized part of the Church’s liturgy, with variations of the prayer appearing in different Church documents and prayers.
The Prayer of Reparation is often said during the season of Lent, a period of penitence and reflection leading up to Easter. It is also commonly used in the Sacrament of Confession, where Catholics confess their sins to a priest and seek absolution.
The prayer is a reminder to Catholics of the importance of acknowledging their faults and seeking forgiveness. It is a way to reconcile with God and to make reparations for the harm that has been caused. In this way, the prayer is a powerful tool for personal and spiritual growth, helping Catholics to deepen their connections with God and to lead more fulfilling lives.
