Today first Saturday of the month. Prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Immaculate heart of Mary, behold you before the children, who with their affection want to repair the many offenses brought to you by many who, being your children too, dare to insult you and insult you. We ask you for forgiveness for these poor sinners our brothers blinded by guilty ignorance or passion, as we ask you for forgiveness also for our shortcomings and ingratitudes, and as a tribute to reparation we firmly believe in your excellent dignity at the highest privileges, in all dogmas that the Church has proclaimed, even for those who do not believe.

We thank you for your countless benefits, for those who don't recognize them; we trust you and we pray to you also for those who do not love you, who do not trust your maternal goodness, who do not resort to you.

We gladly accept the sufferings that the Lord will send us, and we offer you our prayers and sacrifices for the salvation of sinners. Convert many of your prodigal children and open them to your heart as a safe refuge, so that they can transform the ancient insults into tender blessings, indifference into fervent prayer, hatred into love.

Deh! Grant that we do not have to offend God our Lord, already so offended. Obtain for us, for your merits, the grace to always remain faithful to this spirit of reparation, and to imitate your Heart in the purity of conscience, in humility and meekness, in love for God and neighbor.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, praise, love, blessing to you: pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen
