A Prayer of Reparation

O Good and gracious Mary, teach me to love, to suffer, and to die every day with Jesus; teach me to meditate upon His love and His sufferings, and help me to draw fruit from it.

O Mary, imprint deeply in my heart the Wounds of the suffering Jesus. 

O adorable Heart of Jesus, living source of all graces, and model of perfection, sanctify every moment of my life and particularly the moment of my death. Amen.

St. Michael, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
