of the month, shall visit with devotion the Blessed Sacrament; 7 years and 7 quarantines on all the other Thursdays of the year; 100 days on any other day of the year, to those who say them with a contrite heart before the Blessed Sacrament. — Pius VI, Oct. 17, 1796.
An Act of Reparation in Honor of the Blessed Sacrament.
MOST adorable Saviour, in Thy wondrous love for us Thou dost remain in the blessed Sacrament of the Altar, in order to be the perpetual sacrifice of the New Law, the propitiatory victim for our sins, the life-giving manna of our souls, our powerful mediator, our good master, and our best friend.
But, alas! with what ingratitude on our part has Thine infinite goodness been repaid. Prostrate before Thy veiled majesty, at the foot of the altar, where Thou art as truly and really present as in heaven, we come to make reparation and offer atonement for all the injuries inflicted on Thee in the sacrament of Thy love.
O divine Jesus, O meek and humble Jesus, accept our feeble efforts to compassionate Thy suffering Heart, and to make a fitting reparation to Thy outraged majesty for all blasphemies, profanations, and sacrileges ever committed; for our own want of devotion
