Litany of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O Sacred Heart, hear us.

Sacred Heart, graciously hear us.

For the forgetfulness and ingratitude of men,

We will console Thee, O Lord. *

For the way Thou art deserted in Thy Tabernacle, *

For the crimes of sinners, *

For the blasphemies uttered against Thee, *

For the sacrileges which profane Thy Sacrament of Love, *

For the coldness of the greater part of Thy children, *

For the abuse of Thy grace, *

For our own unfaithfulness, *

For the incomprehensible hardness of our hearts, *

For our long delay in loving Thee, *

For Thy bitter sadness at the loss of souls, *

For Thy long waiting at the door of our hearts, *

For Thy loving sighs, *

For Thy loving tears, *

For Thy loving imprisonment, *

For Thy loving death. *

Learn of Me:

Because I am meek and humble of heart.

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who know Thee not,

Have mercy on me as Thou seest best. **

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who do not believe in Thee, **

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who are inconstant and ungrateful, **

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow during the whole course of Thy mortal life, **

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow in Thy agony and in Thy death, **

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who neglect their eternal salvation, **

O Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for those who offer the most Holy Sacrifice unworthily, **

Heart of Jesus, by Thy sorrow for the scarcity of those who love Thee fervently, **

Sweet Heart of Jesus:

Be not my Judge but my Saviour.

O Jesus, loveliest of all beauty, wash me more and more from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin, that, purified by Thee, I may approach to Thee, the pure One, and may be worthy to dwell in "Thy Heart all the days of my life, that I may both see and do Thy will. For this cause was Thy side pierced, that an entrance might be opened for us. Who is there who would not love this wounded Heart? Who would not return love for love to Him that hath loved so well? Amen.

O adorable Heart of Jesus, if men did but know Thee: How they would love Thee!

Petro, "suspended" by his own allies—Gloria Arizabaleta, a member of Cepeda's Historic Pact party

Petro says Gloria Arizabaleta is extorting him, despite being from his own party.

Aida Quilcué—the “poor old lady” who claims to be “excluded,” yet serves as a Senator of Colombia

In 2008, the communists Iván Cepeda and his sister, along with Olga Navia Soto—Manuel Cepeda’s partner—sued Colombia and compelled the State to pay them over one billion pesos for the murder of the communist Manuel Cepeda.

Under Petro's dictatorial regime in Colombia, the justice system is being abused and used as a weapon of political persecution against Abelardo de la Espriella

While Petro and Iván used the Colombian flag in their political campaign, Abelardo is now forbidden from doing so.

In contrast, the communist "Historic Pact" *is* allowed to use the Colombian flag for political campaigning and share the photo on its social media.

Nor do they care that Petro supporters burn the Colombian flag and that Petro waves the M-19 guerrilla flag.

Petro’s dictatorial judicial system in Colombia—characteristic of a communist regime—is also attempting to censor Abelardo over the military salute

The military salute is not unique to Colombia, and historians suggest it dates back to ancient Rome, where it was known as *salutatio militaris*.

Also abusing the law, they want to censor the name of their movement: Defenders of the Homeland. And the slogan: Steadfast for the Homeland.

In Colombia, judges sympathetic to the *Petrismo* movement are abusing the justice system and using it as a weapon of persecution.

Prevost Met Homosexual Activist Bad Bunny

Gloria TV News:

On Monday evening, Pope Leo XIV met with the Puerto Rican homosexual activist and singer Bad Bunny at Madrid's Bernabéu Stadium.

Both were touring Spain, the Vatican said on Tuesday.

Spanish media report that several photos were taken, including by members of the papal entourage, and discussions have taken place about whether and when to publish them.

"Bad Bunny" is the stage name of Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, a Puerto Rican rapper. He is known for his "fluid" gender expression, evident in his fashion choices, nail polish, wearing skirts and kissing men during performances. He is also an outspoken supporter of the homosexual livestyle.

Leo Affirms Bergoglio's "blessing" of homosexual concubines.

Prevost suffers from delusions of grandeur; he believes himself superior to God and thinks he can annul God's law and rewrite Scripture.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

New Catholic Bible

Are you not aware that wrongdoers will never inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites,[a] 10 thieves, extortioners, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.

HELL’S WIDEST GATE: IMPURITY

By Saint Alphonsus Liguori

We have now, lastly, to speak of the fourth gate of hell, which is impurity, and it is by this gate that the greater number of the damned enter. Some will say that it is a trifling sin. Is it a trifling sin? It is a mortal sin. St. Antoninus writes, that such is the nauseousness of this sin; that the devils themselves cannot endure it. Moreover, the Doctors of the Church say that certain demons, who have been superior to the rest, remembering their ancient dignity, disdain tempting to so loathsome a sin. Consider then how disgusting he must be to God, who, like a dog, is ever returning to his vomit, or wallowing like a pig in the stinking mire of this accursed vice. The dog is returned to his vomit; and the sow that was washed, to her rolling in the mire (2 Peter, ii. 22).

Are YOU Surprised? SSPX Superior ‘Astonished’ by Leo’s Silence

Víctor ‘Tucho’ Fernández: “They even told me that I hadn't upheld the Church's position on homosexuals.”

Proverbs 17:15

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God.

Revelation 22:15

Others must remain outside: the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices deceit.

Footnotes

Revelation 22:15 Dogs: they were regarded as despicable creatures; when the term was applied to people it referred to all types of ceremonially unclean persons and also to people of low moral character: e.g., male prostitutes (Deut 23:18) and unfaithful leaders (Isa 56:10).

Aida Quilcué—the “poor old lady” who claims to be “excluded,” yet serves as a Senator of Colombia

Aida Quilcué claims to be “excluded”; however, she is a senator earning a monthly salary of 48 million pesos, in addition to have a good health plan (security), a mobile phone plan, weekly travel allowances, and other sources of income, among other benefits.

A lawyer alleges that relatives of Aida Quilcué amassed $869 million in contracts with the Petro administration, starting with the senator's daughter, Mayerly Alejandra Legarda Quilcué, who holds contracts totaling $130 million for the 2023–2026 period.

The Poor Old Lady (La pobre viejecita) is a children's poem written by Colombian poet Rafael Pombo, first published in 1854.

Plot of the story

The poem tells the story of an elderly woman who, despite having a large house, abundant food, and luxurious possessions, constantly laments her supposed poverty. Throughout the text, Pombo highlights the discrepancy between her material wealth and her perception of deprivation, reinforcing the satirical tone of the work. In the end, the "poor old lady" dies, leaving behind a considerable inheritance, and the poem concludes with an ironic remark: a wish that everyone may enjoy the same "poverty" she endured.

2008 Bogotá

Defendants: The Nation – Ministry of Defense – DAS, and others. Plaintiffs: Olga Navia Soto and others. “THIRD. Order the Nation – Ministry of Defense and the Administrative Department of Security (DAS), jointly and severally, to pay damages for moral injury—calculated at the equivalent of one thousand grams of gold—to each of the plaintiffs (Iván Cepeda Castro, María Cepeda Castro, and Olga Navia Soto), at the value certified by the Superintendence of Banking as of the date this ruling becomes final and enforceable.”

State Ordered to Pay for the Death of Manuel Cepeda - Semana

Semana: Over one billion pesos awarded regarding the assassination of former Senator Manuel Cepeda, a political leader of the Patriotic Union (UP).

The Council of State made this ruling, determining that Iván Cepeda—the former congressman's son—and Olga Navia—his wife*—must be paid 140 million pesos for non-pecuniary damages and 910 million pesos for pecuniary damages.

*Wikipedia only mentions Yira Castro Chadid as Manuel Cepeda's wife.

But the thirst for revenge by Iván and his sister did not end there: "In 2020, on the 25th anniversary of the assassination, Iván and María Cepeda raised their voices before the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) and requested accreditation as victims in order to defeat impunity." (Las2orillas)

Read the article from *El Expediente* online regarding:

The documented ties of Manuel Cepeda Vargas, Yira Castro Chadid, and Iván Cepeda to the Communist Party and the FARC: the story the 'Pact' candidate hides – *El Expediente*

"Iván Cepeda Castro built his political career on the memory of his parents as victims of state persecution. In 2010, the Colombian State was found liable by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for the assassination of Manuel Cepeda Vargas. That is a legal fact.

What the 'Pact' presidential candidate systematically omits is the context explaining why his parents were targets of that persecution: both were active leaders of the party that founded the FARC and provided its ideological backing for decades. There is a long history behind that silence."

Iván Cepeda is called "a child of Marxism." Iván Cepeda—Petro’s candidate—grew up in the Soviet Union and Cuba, living abroad from childhood because his parents were communists. His father was an active member of the Communist Party that founded the FARC. He returned to Colombia in 1970, where he followed in his parents' footsteps: becoming a left-wing student leader and joining the Communist Youth. Later, he traveled to Bulgaria, where he studied philosophy at St. Clement of Ohrid University before returning to Colombia in 1987. He was studying at Javeriana University (Private university run by the Jesuits) when his father was assassinated. "My father's death redirected my path and made me who I am today."

Iván Cepeda’s mother, Yira Castro Chadid, was a communist and an "active agitator for revolutionary causes." She married the General Secretary of JUCO, Manuel Cepeda Vargas, in 1960, and they had two children: María and Iván Cepeda Castro. In 1964, she was imprisoned at the El Buen Pastor jail in Bogotá. It is said that they left for Cuba due to threats against her husband, though she was not formally "exiled." She participated alongside Manuel Cepeda in the Latin American Solidarity Organization (OLAS) conference held in Cuba in 1967. From there, they traveled to Czechoslovakia, remaining there until 1970. Manuel Cepeda was widowed in 1981; "at the time of his death, his partner was Olga Navia, a political and cultural activist."

Let us ask the Sacred Heart of Jesus to free Colombia from communism.

Memorare to the Sacred Heart

REMEMBER, O most sweet Jesus, that no one who has had recourse to Thy Sacred Heart, implored its help, or sought its mercy was ever abandoned. Encouraged with confidence, O tenderest of hearts, we present ourselves before Thee, crushed beneath the weight of our sins. In our misery, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, despise not our simple prayers, but mercifully grant our request

Preghiera di riparazione alla beata Vergine Maria.

Vergine benedetta, Madre di Dio, volgete benigna lo sguardo dal cielo, ove sedete regina, su questo misero peccatore, vostro servo. Esso, benché consapevole della sua indegnità, a risarcimento delle offese a voi fatte da lingue empie e blasfeme, dall'intimo del suo cuore vi bene dice ed esalta come la più pura, la più bella e la più santa di tutte le creature. Benedice il vostro santo nome, benedice le vostre sublimi pre rogative di vera Madre di Dio, sempre Vergine, concepita senza macchia di peccato, di corredentrice del genere umano. Benedice l'eterno Padre, che vi scelse in modo particolare per Figlia, benedice il Verbo incarnato, che vestendosi dell'umana natura nel vostro purissimo seno vi fece sua Madre; benedice il divino Spirito che vi volle sua Sposa. Benedice, esalta e ringrazia la Trinità augusta che vi prescelse e predilesse tanto da innalzarvi su tutte le creature alla più sublime altezza. O Vergine santa e misericordiosa, impetrate il ravvedimento ai vostri offensori e gradite questo piccolo ossequio dal vostro servo, ottenendo anche a lui, dal vostro divin Figlio, il perdono dei propri peccati. Amen.

Prayer of Reparation to the Blessed Virgin Mary Co-Redemptrix, indulgenced by Saint Pius X in 1914

O Blessed Virgin, Mother of God, look down in mercy from heaven, where thou art enthroned as Queen, upon me, a miserable sinner, thine unworthy servant. Although I know full well my own unworthiness, yet in order to atone for the offenses that are done to thee by impious and blasphemous tongues, from the depths of my heart I praise and extol thee as the purest, the fairest, the holiest creature of all God's handiwork. I bless thy holy name, I praise thine exalted privilege of being truly Mother of God, ever virgin, conceived without stain of sin, co-redemptrix of the human race. I bless the Eternal Father who chose thee in an especial way for His daughter; I bless the Word Incarnate who took upon Himself our nature in thy bosom and so made thee His Mother; I bless the Holy Spirit who took thee as His bride. All honor, praise and thanksgiving to the ever-blessed Trinity, who predestined thee and loved thee so exceedingly from all eternity as to exalt thee above all creatures to the most sublime heights. O Virgin, holy and merciful, obtain for all who offend thee the grace of repentance, and graciously accept this poor act of homage from me thy servant, obtaining likewise for me from thy divine Son the pardon and remission of all my sins. Amen 3 x Hail Mary.... Source: The Raccolta, 1950

Pope Leo XIII

The proper valuing of the things of earth: God has given us this world as a place of exile, and not as our abiding place:
The things of earth cannot be understood or valued aright without taking into consideration the life to come, the life that will know no death. Exclude the idea of futurity, and forthwith the very notion of what is good and right would perish; nay, the whole scheme of the universe would become a dark and unfathomable mystery. The great truth which we learn from nature herself is also the grand Christian dogma on which religion rests as on its foundation – that, when we have given up this present life, then shall we really begin to live. God has not created us for the perishable and transitory things of earth, but for things heavenly and everlasting; He has given us this world as a place of exile, and not as our abiding place. (Leo XIII. Encyclical Rerum novarum, nos. 21. 24, May 15, 1891)

Saint John Chrysostom, in Saint Thomas Aquinas's *Catena Aurea*, explains that tolerating offenses against God constitutes the pinnacle of impiety.
In Scripture, impiety is a serious sin that is closely related to idolatry and contempt for God. It is considered such a serious sin that it is frequently described as an abomination. Impiety (ungodliness) includes idol worship, idolatry, bearing false witness, lying, blasphemy, and immoral conduct. The Sin of Impiety is a sin of Malice. The Sin of Malice is considered a sin of Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) Commenting upon Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans (1:26-27), Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, explains why the sin of homosexuality is so grave: "Given the sin of impiety through which they [the Romans] sinned against the divine nature [by idolatry], the punishment that led them to sin against their own nature followed.... I say, therefore, that since they changed into lies [by idolatry] the truth about God, He brought them to ignominious passions, that is, to sins against nature; not that God led them to evil, but only that he abandoned them to evil.... "If all the sins of the flesh are worthy of condemnation because by them man allows himself to be dominated by that which he has of the animal nature, much more deserving of condemnation are the sins against nature by which man degrades his own animal nature....

Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum (1891) addresses the social implications of industrialization and the role of women in society. He states that "women are not suited for certain occupations," emphasizing that "a woman is by nature fitted for home-work, and it is that which is best adapted at once to preserve her modesty and to promote the good bringing up of children and the well-being of the family." This reflects the Pope's views on the traditional roles of women in the home and the importance of family responsibilities

The Church's ultimate trial 675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.

1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
Catena Bible:
Cyprian of Carthage:
Of this same thing in the first book of Kings: "If a man sin by offending against a man, they shall pray the Lord for him; but if a man sin against God, who shall pray for him? "
George Leo Haydock: AD 1849 A sin unto death. Some understand this of final impenitence, or of dying in mortal sin, which is the only sin that never can be remitted; but, it is probable, he may also comprise under this name the sin of apostasy from the faith, and some other such heinous sins as are seldom and hardly remitted: and therefore he gives little encouragement to such as pray for these sinners, to expect what they ask.

Prayer to St. Michael

Please protect us, St. Michael the Archangel, against violence, murder, and robbery. In your goodness preserve us today from all the malice of sinful and wicked persons. In your sleepless vigilance watch over the safety and welfare of our homes, and keep guard over our possessions. Ever hold in your special care, most triumphant St. Michael, the forces of public order against the crimes of evil people, and defend all honest citizens in time of peril. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Novena Prayer to St. Michael

(Pray for nine consecutive days)
Saint Michael the Archangel, loyal champion of God and His Catholic people, I turn to thee with confidence and seek thy powerful intercession. For the love of God, Who hast made thee so glorious in grace and power, and for the love of the Mother of Jesus, the Queen of the Angels, be pleased to hear my prayer.
Thou knowest the value of my soul in the eyes of God. May no stain of evil ever disfigure its beauty. Help me to conquer the evil spirit who tempts me. I desire to imitate thy loyalty to God and Holy Mother Church and thy great love for God and men. And since thou art God’s messenger for the care of His people, I entrust to thee this special request: (here mention your request).
Saint Michael, since thou art, by the will of the Creator, the powerful intercessor of Christians, I have great confidence in thy prayers. I earnestly trust that if it is God’s holy will, my petition will be granted.
Pray for me, Saint Michael, and also for those I love. Protect us in all dangers of body and soul. Help us in our daily needs. Through thy powerful intercession, may we live a holy life, die a happy death and reach Heaven where we may praise and love God with thee forever. Amen.
Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory Be.
St. Michael, Guardian of souls, Vanquisher of rebel spirits, Pray for us.

St John Chrysostom

Our Lord having reproached the Jews with blindness, they might have said, We are not blind, but we avoid you as a deceiver. Our Lord therefore gives the marks which distinguish a robber and deceiver from a true shepherd. First come those of the deceiver and robber: Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. There is an allusion here to Antichrist, and to certain false Christs who had been, and were to be. The Scriptures He calls the door. They admit us to the knowledge of God, they protect the sheep, they shut out the wolves, they bar the entrance to heretics. He that uses not the Scriptures, but climbs up some other way, i.e. some self-chosen, some unlawful way, is a thief. Climbs up, He says, not, enters, as if it were a thief getting over a wall, and running all risks. Some other way, may refer too to the commandments and traditions of men which the Scribes taught, to the neglect of the Law. When our Lord further on calls Himself the Door, we need not be surprised. According to the office which He bears, He is in one place the Shepherd, in another the Sheep. In that He introduces us to the Father, He is the Door, in that He takes care of us, He is the Shepherd. (Catena Aurea)

LIBERTAS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE NATURE OF HUMAN LIBERTY
35. And as to tolerance, it is surprising how far removed from the equity and prudence of the Church are those who profess what is called liberalism. For, in allowing that boundless license of which We have spoken, they exceed all limits, and end at last by making no apparent distinction between truth and error, honesty and dishonesty. And because the Church, the pillar and ground of truth, and the unerring teacher of morals, is forced utterly to reprobate and condemn tolerance of such an abandoned and criminal character, they calumniate her as being wanting in patience and gentleness, and thus fail to see that, in so doing, they impute to her as a fault what is in reality a matter for commendation. But, in spite of all this show of tolerance, it very often happens that, while they profess themselves ready to lavish liberty on all in the greatest profusion, they are utterly intolerant toward the Catholic Church, by refusing to allow her the liberty of being herself free.

“If you want to be certain of being in the number of the Elect, strive to be one of the few, not one of the many. And if you would be quite sure of your salvation, strive to be among the fewest of the few; that is to say, do not follow the great majority of mankind, but follow those who enter upon the narrow way, who renounce the world, who give themselves to prayer, and who never relax their efforts by day or night, so that they may attain everlasting blessedness.” -Saint Anselm, Father and Doctor of the Church

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH, THE PROTECTOR OF CHRISTIAN FAMILIES Great Saint Joseph, who wast chosen of God to be the head of the holiest and most august of families, deign to cast thy eyes upon us, and take us this day under thy special protection. Holy Patriarch, model of the holiest faith, and of the most perfect virtues, obtain for all the members of this family grace to withstand the dangers and seductions of the world, and to remain stedfastly attached to the LORD. Obtain for us that, always united by the bonds of the most tender charity, and encouraging one another mutually in good works, we may taste under thy auspices the sweetness of that peace which JESUS has promised to His true disciples. But above all, when our last hour shall come, obtain for us that we may find grace before the Sovereign Judge, so that, reunited in heaven at the foot of Thy Throne, we may celebrate everlastingly the glory of GOD and thy praise. Amen.

St. Vincent Ferrer -- Sermon on the Last Judgment: In the same way, in the time of Antichrist, the Sun of justice will be obscured by the interposition of temporal goods and the wealth which Antichrist will bestow on the world, inasmuch as the brightness of faith in Jesus Christ and the glow of good lives will no longer shine among Christians. For, lest they should lose their dominion, temporal rulers, kings and princes will range themselves on the side of Antichrist. In like manner, prelates for fear of losing their dignities, and religious and priests to gain honors and riches, will forsake the Faith of Christ and adhere to Antichrist.

Neither living nor lifeless faith remains in a heretic who disbelieves one article of faith. The reason of this is that the species of every habit depends on the formal aspect of the object, without which the species of the habit cannot remain. Now the formal object of faith is the First Truth, as manifested in Holy Writ and the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth. Consequently whoever does not adhere, as to an infallible and Divine rule, to the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth manifested in Holy Writ, has not the habit of faith, but holds that which is of faith otherwise than by faith. Even so, it is evident that a man whose mind holds a conclusion without knowing how it is proved, has not scientific knowledge, but merely an opinion about it. Now it is manifest that he who adheres to the teaching of the Church, as to an infallible rule, assents to whatever the Church teaches; otherwise, if, of the things taught by the Church, he holds what he chooses to hold, and rejects what he chooses to reject, he no longer adheres to the teaching of the Church as to an infallible rule, but to his own will. Hence it is evident that a heretic who obstinately disbelieves one article of faith, is not prepared to follow the teaching of the Church in all things; but if he is not obstinate, he is no longer in heresy but only in error. Therefore it is clear that such a heretic with regard to one article has no faith in the other articles, but only a kind of opinion in accordance with his own will. (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Theologica, II-II, q. 5, a. 3)
