Acts of Reparation to Christ the King

Oh, Christ my King I wish to make reparation for my sins and the sins of the whole world- for our ingratitude, always making requests from Jesus and never returning thanks for favors received, nor asking for forgiveness for acts committed against You. Behold, my King I bow before Your altar of Salvation eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries, constant denial, desecration of your altar and place of worship, and profanation of Your Holy Name used in curse words, as a joke, or in an irreverent manner. I beg pardon for and wish to offer sacrifices and prayers for the ungodly acts of lying, theft, harboring anger or hatred against others, adultery, sexual or immodest desires, gossiping or backbiting, blasphemy, swearing falsely in Your name, teaching grave errors on religion, or all neglect of Thy great love and for the sins we and others have committed in the past. Create in me (us) a pure heart, O Lord My King, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from Your Presence, O Mighty King or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me and the human race forgiveness for lack of reparation of sins committed against You, Your Reign and Your Kingdom. Amen 2

Act of Consecration to Christ the King

Oh Christ my King, I consecrate my heart to you. I consecrate my family and the whole world to you today. I acknowledge You as the Grand Architect and Master Planner of the whole world. I acknowledge Your Kingship; You reign in Heaven and on earth. Take me, Jesus Christ my King. Use me as Your little servant to spread Your love to this world. I give myself entirely to You and I ask the Holy Spirit to make me more like You. Amen

The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” One OUR FATHER*… ...... one … HAIL MARY* 4 L: Jesus Christ King of the whole world R: Have Mercy on us and the whole world (12X) GLORY BE

Christ Jesus, I acknowledge You King of the Universe. My Savior, God of Heaven, set up a Kingdom in my life and all over the universe that will never be destroyed. My Savior, crush all those kingdoms that are inferior to Yours and bring them to an end. Christ Jesus, You are the King of kings. The God of Heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory. In your hands He has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky.

You who see the innermost thoughts of your creations, let me find peace, joy, healing, favor and help in all my needs, Oh King of the Nations, especially this one: ...... (Mention Your Request) I lay my request at the Tabernacle of the Most High God. Who is like You, O King of Kings?

All nations will come and worship before you; for You are a righteous God and Savior, there is none in all the earth except You, O God Most High. May the people praise you, O Lord my King, may all the peoples praise You. Reign Lord Jesus, reign Master Jesus, reign Your Spirit in our hearts. Reign in our family, reign in our home, reign in the nation and in the world. Reign in Majesty over Your creation and make full use of Your everlasting powers. Amen

4 Someone wondered why the birth of Christ the King and the visit of the Magi should not have come as the First Mystery of the Chaplet of Christ the King; initially, I thought as well. However, the Lord has asked that there should be no changes in the structure. After some time, He explained that the acknowledgement of Jesus Christ as the King by the Magi is the highpoint of this novena and devotion. That the main point of the devotion is to have every participant to acknowledge and welcome Him as the King in their hearts. 8
