THE EUCHARISTIC REPARATION FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
 One World Praying for Peace and Life:
Children–of–the–Eucharist before the Most Blessed Sacrament
(15-20 MINUTES VERSION)
Introduction before Exposition: This is WAF Program originated in the WAF – USA and now spread throughout the world, thanks to the efforts of the WAF International. Children and Youngsters follow the example of Blessed Francisco Marto, adoring the Divine presence of “Hidden Jesus” in our tabernacles for the intention of the triumph of good over evil. By the powerful intercession of this spiritual army of prayer and reparation, all graces form heaven can be obtained. Children and young people learn the unique friendship with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament that He becomes for them, the true model and hero, the leader to be followed. Although the day is the first Sunday of October, it maybe held before as per the local situation. The intention of this Holy Hour is for the conversion & act of reparation for those involved in homicide, direct abortion, intentional euthanasia, suicide, scandal, wars, kidnapping, hostage taking, terrorism, torture & abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco and drugs. In Pope John Paul II’s Christmas letter to the world's children he said, 'My dear young friends, it is to your prayers that I entrust the problems of your own family and all the families of the world! So, we also pray for peace at all levels. It is believed that about 60 million children are aborted throughout the world annually. Even the two World Wars did not take such a heavy toll as abortion! We are here as one big family in this One World Praying Children-of-the-Eucharistic program to pray like Blessed Francisco who was so fond of “Hidden Jesus”. We pray for Peace and Life. We will pray, adore, make reparation, raise our petitions and thank before our Saviour Jesus, who is present here in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Exposition: Hymn: O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine – all Praise and all thanks giving be every momentThine.
1) We will now recite the Reparation and Pardon prayers that the Angel of Peace taught the three shepherd children, aged 6, 7 and 8 at Fatima: This is the Chaplet of the Angel of Peace (Imprimatur: Cardinal of Cebu Archdiocese Philippines, His Excellency Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal) This Chaplet is for the 5 wounds of Jesus: 10 times is for youth who do not pray, so we pray for them. It is to be recited like 5 decades of the Holy Rosary with the Rosary beads. On the Our Father beads – (Angels Reparation Prayer) “Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly and offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and the indifferences by which He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners”
On the Hail Mary beads (Pardon Prayer) “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You, (instead of Hail Mary). I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor love You.” (Instead of Holy Mary) (10 times)
After the five decades, conclude with: “Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, Have mercy on us and on the Whole World.” (3 times)
Promise of the Guardian Angel of Portugal “Make of everything you can a sacrifice, and offer it to God as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners. You will thus draw peace upon your country”.
2) During His Life on earth, children were very special to Our Lord, people brought their children to Jesus and He asked that they gather around Him, remarking, “let the children come to Me. Do not shut them off. The reign of God belongs to such as these”. (LK 18:16) Let us follow this example of Blessed Francisco of consoling “Hidden Jesus” in the Blessed Sacrament as often as possible to be happy and peaceful by overcoming the evil by the power of the Holy Spirit! We shall receive the “consolation of their incomparable victory of their precious prayers!” 3) In our prayer of petitions, we read in Timothy1, Chapter 2 – “First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people”
Let your response be “Lord, hear our prayer” R 1) We pray for our Holy Father Pope Benedict the XVIth, Our Archbishop ……, all priests, religious and the entire Church to carry out their mission to the fullest. R 2) We pray for the political leaders at all levels to follow the principles of truth, justice, equality and righteousness. R 3) We pray for all those involved in murders, homicides, abortion that they be converted to turn against this evil. R 4) We pray for all those involved in euthanasia, suicidal, scandal, wars, kidnapping, hostage taking, and terrorism that they be enlightened and repentant. R 5) We pray for those who abuse food, alcohol, tobacco and drugs that they give up there vices and convert themselves. R 6) We pray to you Lord, the Prince of Peace, for Peace in our hearts, families, communities, states, nations and the whole world. R 7)………..(On the current Pastoral theme/any other, etc).R 8) We pray for all those involved in spreading this One World Praying Children-of-the-Eucharistic spiritual program for Peace and Life to triumph over evil.
