Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Mercifully look upon us poor sinners, who offer to Your Divine Majesty this act of reparation for the abomination perpetrated in the Eternal City, during this Jubilee Year, by those who, “turning the grace of our Lord God into sensuality” (Jude 4), used — alas, with the permission of the authorities of the Holy See — the Church of the Gesù, the Holy Door and St. Peter’s Basilica as a platform to proudly advocate for the legitimization of sodomy, fornication and other sins against the Sixth Commandment of Your Holy Law. They dared, moreover, to display “the appearance of godliness, yet denying its power” (2 Tim. 3:5).
Sorrowfully we cry out to You with the words of the psalm: “O Lord, remember Your congregation, which You have possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of Your inheritance which You have redeemed: Mount Sion in which You have dwelt. Lift up our hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary. And they that hate You have made their boasts, in the midst of Your solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs. They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name on the earth. How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke Your name for ever? Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise Your name” (Ps. 73:2-4.7.10.21).
Though poor sinners, we offer, in union with the acts of atonement of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, of all the Saints and of all pious faithful on earth, the satisfaction You once made to Your Eternal Father on the Cross, and which You continue to renew daily on our altars, in reparation and atonement:
O Lord, we also beg You mercifully to grant Your light and the grace of conversion to our poor brothers and sisters who, blinded by error and enslaved by vice, endeavour to impose their own will on Your Holy Will, by impudently demanding that the Church change the immutable and divinely revealed truths of Your Commandments. Grant, we beseech You, that they be led back to the embrace of Your Holy Will.
O Lord, pour out Your Spirit of truth and compunction upon the Shepherds and sheep of Your pasture, so that they might fear You, walk in all Your ways and love You (cf. Deut. 10:12). May the world come to grasp, in the words and deeds of Your Church, Your liberating truth: “How beautiful is the chaste generation with glory: for the memory thereof is immortal, because it is known both with God and with men” (Wis. 4:1).
O Lord, look mercifully upon Your afflicted Church which has been publicly humiliated through the abuse of the Jubilee Year, the Holy Door and St. Peters’ Basilica. Graciously receive this our act of reparation, and look upon the tears of the Immaculate and Sorrowful Virgin Mary, the blood of innumerable martyrs, especially those martyred for chastity, and upon the sufferings, sighs, prayers and acts of loving reparation of so many Catholic souls. O Lord, make Your Church to shine again, Catholic, free, and chaste.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us! Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us! Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us! Amen.
