A Prayer of Forgiveness & Reparation. Penitential love.

LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who revealed the infinite mercy of Thy SACRED HEART in saying:

Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you (Matt. 5:44), and again, Bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you (Luke 6:28): Give me, I beseech Thee, grace to obey these commandments of Thine and to persevere in praying daily for those who, in any way, have abused, cursed, hurt, or rejected me.

I pray for those who hate me, for those who resent me & for those who have spoken ill of me. I beg Thee to bless them abundantly & to pour into their hearts such a profusion of healing mercies that in them & around them love will triumph over hatred, friendship over resentment, sweetness over bitterness, meekness over anger, & peace over enmity.

I further ask Thee to extend these graces to their families and to all whom they hold dear.

In particular, I pray today for N. (and N.). I
present him (her / them) to Thy Eucharistic Face, asking Thee to envelop him (her / them) in Its healing radiance, dispelling whatever shadows of sin may have darkened his (her, their) mind(s) or hardened his (her, their) heart(s) in anger, hatred, or the refusal to forgive.

FOR MY PART, with deep sorrow I confess that I have sinned grievously against others, causing them pain and even endangering their souls.

I pray Thee, O merciful JESUS, to repair the evil I have done to others & to heal the hurt I have inflicted on them.

In particular, I acknowledge my sins against N. (and N.) imploring Thee to heal & repair the harm I have done him (her, them).

I ask Thee so to penetrate my heart with the charity of Thy Pierced HEART that I will be able to forgive those who have offended me, to love them sincerely, and to desire for them all that will contribute to their true happiness in this life & in the next. By means of a permanent intention, I desire to renew this prayer in every offering of Thy HOLY SACRIFICE.

Let the light of Thy Eucharistic Face shine in the hearts of all who harbour hatred or resentment toward me, to bring them healing & peace. Let Thy Precious Blood triumph over evil in those against whom I have sinned & in those who have sinned against me, so that, delivered from the shadows of this valley of tears, we may one day praise Thy Mercy together in the sweetness of a boundless charity. AMEN.
