       us  that  there  was  no  abyss  of  humiliation  from  which

       O Mother of all blessedness, etc.
                   ACT OF REPARATION
       Most pleasing to the blessed Virgin.

       While St. Gertrude was bewailing her negligence in that
       she  had  never  served  the  Mother  of  Jesus  with  due
       reverence,  and  was  beseeching  our  Lord  to  supply  her
       lack of service, she seemed to see the King of Glory arise
       and present his deific Heart to his Mother, and therewith
       to make amends for all her negligence. To obtain a like

               SWEETEST Jesus, by that love wherewith thou
              Virgin and of her to be born, that thou mightest
       satisfy the desires of the poor and the wants of the needy,
       I  beseech  thee  that  thou  wouldst  vouchsafe  to  make
       amends  to  thy  ever  –  virgin  Mother,  with  thine  own
       sweetest  Heart,  for  all  the  manifold  defects  which
       through my own negligence and ingratitude have tainted
       and  marred  my  service  and  honour  of  so  gentle  and
       loving a Mother, whose gracious succour has never failed
       me in any danger or necessity. Do, then, O most tender
       Jesus,  present  to  her  thy  sweetest  Heart,  overflowing
       with  ineffable  blessedness,  in  reparation  of  this  my
