Act of Reparation by Pope Pius XI
O Sweet Jesus, whose overflowing charity for men is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before Thine altar eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject.
Mindful alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, we humbly ask Thy pardon and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation not only for our own personal offenses, but also for the sins of those, who, straying far from the path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow Thee, their Shepherd and Leader, or renouncing the vows of their baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy law.
We are now resolved to expiate each and every deplorable outrage committed against Thee; we are determined to make amends for the manifold offenses against Christian modesty in unbecoming dress and behavior, for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent, for the frequent violation of Sundays and holidays, and the shocking blasphemies uttered against Thee and Thy Saints. We wish also to make amends for the insults to which Thy Vicar on earth and Thy priests are subjected for the profanation, by conscious neglect or terrible acts of sacrilege, of the very Sacrament of Thy divine love; and lastly for the public crimes of nations who resist the rights and the teaching authority of the Church which Thou hast founded.
Would O divine Jesus, we were able to wash away such abominations with our blood! We now offer, in reparation for these violations of Thy divine honor, the satisfaction Thou didst once make to Thy eternal Father on the cross and which Thou dost continue to renew daily on our altars; we offer it in union with the acts of atonement of Thy Virgin Mother and all the Saints and of the pious faithful on earth; and we sincerely promise to make recompense, as far as we can with the help of Thy grace, for all neglect of Thy great love and for the sins we and others have committed in the past. Henceforth we will live a life of unwavering faith, of purity of conduct, of perfect observance of the precepts of the Gospel and especially that of Charity. We promise to the best of our power to prevent others from offending Thee and to bring as many as possible to follow Thee.
O loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our model in reparation, deign to receive the voluntary offering we make of this act of expiation; and by the crowning gift of perseverance keep us faithful unto death in our duty and allegiance we owe to Thee, so that we may all one day come to that happy home, where Thou with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.

A Group of Faithful Praying the Rosary in the Cathedral of Brussels Interrupted the Blasphemous Commemoration of Luther’s Apostasy

THEY WERE EVICTED BY THE POLICE
Belgium: a group of faithful interrupted the commemoration of the «Reformation» in a Catholic Cathedral by praying the Rosary
The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, hosted on Saturday a joint Catholic-Protestant commemoration of the "Reform" initiated by the heresiarch Luther. When the Protestant pastor began speaking, a group of young Catholics began to pray the Rosary.
(InfoCatólica) The preaching during the ecumenical act (Editorial Note: about false ecumenism) was given by the pastor Steven Fuite. Cardinal Jozef De Kesel, archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, participated in the ceremony with other religious and lay leaders.
As the pastor began to speak, young Catholics, faithful to the Lord and His Mother, began to pray the Rosary out loud, which caused Steven Fuite not to continue his preaching.
Little by little, police officers approached and ordered the Catholic faithful to end their prayer, which they ignored. Forty minutes later, the police took out the group of people, one by one, of the temple while they continued praying.
Note: Similar events have occurred before in Mexico and Argentina. These young Catholics by praying the Holy Rosary are showing the greatness of our Catholic faith. They are teaching us that, at their young age, they follow the teachings of Christ. They follow the Tradition and the Magisterium of the Church of two thousand years. They know the difference between a Catholic and a Protestant, Muslim, Buddhist, etc. They are calling us to find the way to salvation of our souls through the grace Our Lord always gives us. May god bless them for defending the honor of the House of God.
