Ave Maria Meditations
Prayers in Reparation for Blasphemy and Sacrilege:
My Jesus, who became flesh to trample down death and to open Heaven to all sons and daughters of Adam, I ask You to hear my prayer and to have mercy on us all, who daily cause You great offense with our sin. The last prophet born before You, Saint John the Baptist, preached repentance and baptism for the forgiveness of sin. He himself suffered persecution and death for the truth. And yet, humanity continues in sin and in ignorance of You, even after having heard the message of salvation from Your own mouth. Before enjoying the sweetness of the Christmas mysteries, sanctify my penance in this time of Advent, especially those committed against the Blessed Sacrament. Amen.
