Reparation for Crimes and Blasphames against Our Lord

God our Father, in reparation for crimes and blasphemes committed against Your Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, I offer you His Holy Face, His HolyName and His Most Sacred Heart.

"To be one who makes repairs is to give our Lord what others deny him. Just recently I was told of a television show that featured various people urinat- ing on the Crucifix of our Lord. Upon hearing this I immediately went to the prayer chapel and placed eleven crucifixes on the altar, lit a candle that I intend to keep burning for 40 days and then offered incense in a deep spirit of reparation. Our Lord said “I thirst” (Jn.19:28). This thirst continues un- quenched because it is a thirst for souls, faith, hope, love, thanksgiving, petition and adoration. Our Lord’s thirst will continue until the end of time but so will the call to reparation continue among and in his people." -s

“Let the priest, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar” - Joel 2:17; Ezek. 22:30

"Christianity is a middle eastern religion, in intimate familial relationship with Judaism. Reparation is needed if we are other than. Reparation is a returning. The sights and sounds of this returning should be mystical, Semitic and ancient, hovering in an incense shrouded air. The climate of this Reparation Returning is one of changelessness (Heb.13:8; Ex. 3:14; 2Cor.1:19-20; Jude 25). Western rites are sanitized versions of this mysterious drama. In this Returning, time vanishes and with bare feet* we approach the eerie secrets of an antiquity of which we are repaired. Here we have the impression of being sourced from Christian civilzation. This is an interior state externalized in observable rite of reparative prayer. At this point the Theologian takes over from the anthropologist and the Practitioner from the theologian." -s

“See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise (16) Redeeming (Repairing) the time, because the days are evil. (17) Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” -Eph. 5:15-17

“The Rosary is, for me, making the past better so the present and future are better than they would have been.” -Seraphim

OFFENSES

1. Invoking the Name while other than He is in your heart. - James 1:8; Mt. 6:24; Lk. 9:62; Ecc. 7:29
2. Un-Christian behavior. - Rom 2:24
3. Not reverencing the Name. - Mt. 6:9
4. Taking the Name without giving up material attachments.  Those who still want material pleasures won’t enjoy invoking the Name.  Bottom line, if you are not invoking with dependence on the Name, you are clinging to material attachments. - Phil. 2:9; Lk. 12:33-34; 1Jn.2:16; Mt. 6:33.
5. Giving the Name to unqualified people. Mt. 7:6; 13:11; Ps.25:14; 1Cor. 2:9-14
6. Professing God’s Name but not living answerable to it -Mt. 12:36; Rom 1:21-22; 14:12
7. In invoking avoid the three lines of distraction: 1) daily concerns; 2) memories; 3) the “what ifs” of the future. -Mt. 6:33;Phil 2:5; 2Cor. 10:3-5; Eph. 6:10-18
8. The action of an offense is that gradually attraction to the Holy Name is destroyed and one begins to regard the spiritual as material. - 1John 2:15-17.

REFORM

1. If you make offense to the Holy Name, then it’s to the Holy Name you must go for relief and restoration.  You can’t receive forgiveness for offenses to the Holy Name except from the Holy Name. - Heb 4:16.  When I say “Jesus” there is mercy for my sins. -Mt. 11:28; Mk. 10:46 -52; Jn. 1:29
2. We can get out of the offenses of the vast intermediate zone by being sorry for being there. -Rev.3:16
3. Arrange your life so that you can invoke with attentiveness. Give up all bad associations and data exposure. 2 Cor. 6:14-18.
4. Invocation is especially weakened by material desires. - Josh. 24:15; Mt. 6:24; 1Kings 18:21
5. What is the use of controlling the mind? Simply invoke the Name and hear. - Lk. 1:31; Rev. 3:22
6. When others show up simply say: “I love you, invoke! I have to finish my strands.” -Rev. 2:5; 1Cor. 7:20; Eph. 4:1-7; Acts 26:19.
7. To achieve success in devotion to the Name one must practice three forms: invoking, hearing, and remembering.- 1Cor. 14:40
8. Embrace the “Essential Teaching” and then taste. Ps. 34:8; Zeph. 3:12. Invoking the Name frees one from any desire other than the named. 

CONCLUSION

When will that day be when with a steady mind, sitting in a secluded place, I will invoke the Holy Name of Jesus.  The lamentable bondage of worldly existence will no longer echo in my ears and the deterring body will not disturb me.  If a non-prayer sees me invoke, I feel world’s apart - how much I value the Prayer Rope and invocation.  With this wealth I have the very real hope to improve and not worsen. 

One of the saddest verses in the Bible: “to whom He said, ‘This (Invocation/Prayer Rope) is the resting place, let the weary rest,” and ‘this is the place of repose’ but they would not listen.” -Isa. 28:12 -Seraphim

So God said: “I shall leave but a humble and lowly people among you whose refuge will be the Name of the Lord.” -Zeph. 3:12
