Mark Shea has some excellent thoughts on the spreading wave of Eucharistic desecration and threats of such on InsideCatholic.com and Father Joe suggests a prayer of reparation here.
I'll repeat the Prayer of Reparation I suggested a couple of days ago which is taken from Holy Hour Of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Please consider buying a copy and praing the entire Holy Hour regularly!
Act of Reparation
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair the outrages unceasingly offered to Thee, we prostrate before Thy throne of mercy, and in the name of all mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee!
The more Thy Mysteries are blasphemed, the more firmly we shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of Jesus!
The more impiety endeavors to extinguish our hopes of immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy Heart, sole hope of mankind!
The more hearts resist Thy Divine attractions, the more we shall love Thee, O infinitely amiable Heart of Jesus.
The more unbelief attacks Thy Divinity, the more humbly and profoundly we shall adore It, O Divine Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy holy laws are transgressed and ignored, the more we shall delight to observe them, O most holy Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Sacraments are despised and abandoned, the more frequently we shall receive them with love and reverence, O most liberal Heart of Jesus!
The more the imitation of Thy virtues is neglected and forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to practice them, O Heart, model of every virtue!
The more the devil labors to destroy souls, the more we shall be inflamed with desire to save them, O Heart of Jesus, zealous Lover of souls!
The more sin and impurity destroy the image of God in man, the more we shall try by purity of life to be a living temple of the holy Spirit, O Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Holy Church is despised, the more we shall endeavor to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Vicar on earth is persecuted, the more will we honor him as the infallible head of Thy Holy Church, show our fidelity and pray for him, O Kingly Heart of Jesus!
O Sacred Heart, through Thy powerful grace, may we become Thy apostles in the midst of a corrupted world, and be Thy crown in the kingdom of heaven. Amen.
Thank you kindly James for directing me to those posts!

Hi.
I have just become aware of eucharistic desecration. I had heard of Myers, but thought he was a lone crackpot with an antiCatholic agenda. Unfortunately there are several videos on utube relating to eucaristic desecration. They are disgusting, insulting and vicious.
How could anyone wilfully be so hateful to Catholics concerning the one belief which is the Holy of Holies to Catholics, and means nothing to the desecrator. If this was some verbal antiCatholic response in a heated argument it could be passed off as a thoughtless blunder, but these are planned and executed manouvers with a hateful motive. Obtaining the eucharist had to be planned, and was videoed in one instance. The desecrations had also to be planned. I didn’t look at all the desecrations, but I was embarrassed and outraged by what I saw.
For Catholics, turning the other cheek seems only to convey a message of weakness, an invitation to load the cart with hatred. Notice that it’s not done to Moslems, because the response would be violent. Jews would be on the streets marching and protesting and get the press coverage more than proportionate to the outrage. Catholics on the other hand, for the most part do nothing. Thank God for the Bill Donohues of the USA.
May He forgive us all for our cowardice and apathy.

Thanks for stopping by Mike. Fortunately, according to the grapevine (and I am praying it is true) YouTube has agreed to take down the Eucharistic desecration videos. I think we should all write and say THANKS!!
