Today I unite myself with Jesus betrayed by Judas.
Jesus comes to the betrayer and says to him: “Friend, who are you looking for?” and Judas comes to give Him a kiss! – What iniquity and ingratitude on the part of Judas! He forgets the benefits he has received from his Master… he only takes advantage of it to betray Him, and betray Him with the sign of friendship: a kiss! – What gentleness in the Heart of Jesus! in all His attitude and in His words! To the offence, to the kiss of betrayal, He answers with these words that should have thrown the guilty man at His feet: “My friend, why have you come here? Judas, it is with a kiss that you betray the Son of Man!”
Reparation. – Through my love, I want to repair the outrages done to Our Lord:
-
by the hypocritical betrayal of the new Judases in the present times…
-
by the outrage of those kisses which make the demons laugh and the angels cry…
-
by the ingratitude of the resistances to grace, which lead to the hardening of the heart…
Scripture tells us, “If today you hear the voice of God, beware lest you harden your hearts.” Let us ask with humility and self-defiance for the grace of perseverance… “The spirit is swift, but the flesh is weak.” said Jesus.
Jaculatory Prayer. – O Jesus, make me love You always and always more.

Jesus, whose dignity and nobility are infinite, is slapped by an insolent and rude slave. – He receives this insult with extreme patience. “He gave His cheek to be struck.” (Jeremiah.) – “I was silent and humbled.” (Psalm)
Reparation. – Through my love, I want to repair the outrages inflicted on Our Lord:
-
by the words, writings, films, songs, images, which treat Him with more contempt than one would treat the lowest of men.
Jaculatory prayer. – “Let all peoples praise You, O Lord; let all peoples pay You homage.” (Psalm)

Today I unite myself to Jesus who is outraged.
“I did not turn away My face from those who covered Me with spit and reproach.” (Psalm) Our Savior’s face is spat upon. It is a vile, dishonorable torment… And He who is thus treated is the One of whom the Prophet said, “Show us Your face and we shall be saved.”
Reparation. – Through my love, I want to repair the outrages committed against Our Lord:
-
by those who are using the crucifixes and even the Holy Hosts for diabolical ceremonies
-
by those who say: “God does not exist. If there is a God, He is inaccessible, He does not care about our matters.”
Jaculatory prayer. – Heart of Jesus, filled with opprobrium, have mercy on us!
