Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus #1

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I come before You in prayer to make an act of reparation for the sins that I have committed against You and against my fellow human beings.

My Lord and my Savior, Your boundless love and mercy is beyond measure, and yet I have often failed to love You and my neighbor as I ought. I offer You my most sincere apologies.

Help me to be truly sorry for my offenses and to make amends for them by living each day in Your grace and according to Your holy will. May the fire of Your love burn within me and transform me into a likeness of You.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, may the streams of blood and water that flowed from Your wounded side wash away my sins and make me pure and holy. I place my trust in You, and I dedicate myself to be Your faithful servant from this moment on, until the end of my days. Amen.
