June 11th to June 16th, 2023
HOLY is a call to spiritual Repentance, Reparation, and Revival. It is an organic movement in the Church led by the laity and participating pastors and apostolates of the Church. It is a direct response to the leadership of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and their call to holiness through Eucharistic Revival. Although there is a desired schedule of pastoral leadership, within HOLY, each member of the Church is asked to engage and participate as they are called and able, inclusive of participation in the resources provided below.
Sunday, June 11th: Solemnity of Corpus Christi (Mass and Procession)
Devotions to the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ, Mass, prayers of thanksgiving, adoration, and praise, followed by a procession manifesting the public faith of the people of God in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Monday, June 12th-Thursday, June 15th: Days of Preparation and Repentance
Acts of penance, repentance, reparation to the Heart of Jesus present in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar (the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the 15 Prayers of St. Bridget of Sweden, fasting, almsgiving, and acts of contrition); Public manifestations of penance are encouraged but should not replace Sacramental Confession.
For an example of how to turn an examination of conscience into a public litany of repentence, please see the link below. One could host this simple link which takes a person to a playlist, which would play all the audio tracks in order according to the commandments. Or, a person could simply include one of the tracks to be used as an example for those preparing:

To be HOLY before The Lord, in this HOLY, healing, moment. We are on mission, together, as one Church, to pray for spiritual: Repentance, Reparation & Revival.
The U.S. Catholic Bishops have asked, at this time of Eucharistic Revival, that all Pastors lead the faithful in Eucharistic Possession and prayer on Corpus Christi Sunday, June 11th, 2023.
HOLY is the invitation to every Catholic and Parish to continue in HOLY prayer and, as possible, daily Adoration June 12th, 13th and 14th. On the afternoon of June 15th, Adoration is continued through the evening and morning hours of June 16th, celebrating in praise and worship the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This HOLY moment is an organic Lay movement, following the call of the U.S. Bishops to unceasingly pray for spiritual: Repentance, Reparation & Revival, before Our Lord, in the HOLY Eucharist. We pray that all Baptized Catholics will be called to join us, at this special time, as one HOLY Catholic Church before Our Lord and Savior in prayer and worship.
In His HOLY name, we pray: HOLY is God, HOLY and mighty, HOLY and immortal one, have mercy on US, heal US, Amen!
In this challenging time, in this moment of His-story, we come before God to thank Him for His Son, the promise of salvation and eternal life, to plead for His Mercy, to seek His healing love, forgiveness of our sins and our failures to live out our love for Him, His Church, and every child of God created in His love. We pray that we may, all, truly unite in Him, with Him, so that our joy may be complete; that we may be HOLY, together, in flourishing community, as ONE Church.
This is a HOLY healing moment to witness to God, to our love for Him, and to the power of the real and active presence of Christ and His Love for us in the HOLY Eucharist. We know all to well in the history of man that as we, by our choice, willingly walk away from and reject the truth of God’s love for us, we individually and in community, suffer greatly. We understand our present day, to be such a painful and prophetic moment of suffering. Therefore we turn to God, as ONE, in His Church. To do so we repent publicly, as in Scripture, to plead now for God’s forgiveness for our grave sins and the willful rejection of His love for every person, every Child of God. We ask our HOLY Mother and all the Saints to sustain us, to convert us to new hearts, fully alive in the love, peace and joy of God. We return our hearts to God, to His love for each and everyone of us, especially the most vulnerable among us.
In this moment (June 11th, Corpus Christi Sunday to June 16th the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus) we seek to bring the faithful, the whole Church together, every Pastor, apostolate, every member of The Church. We do so kneeling, in continued prayer, in Eucharistic Adoration, before God, in Spiritual Repentance, Reparation & Revival, as His Beloved Children.

Consecration to Jesus
O sweet Jesus, Whose overflowing charity for men is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before Thy altar eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries, to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject.
Mindful alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, we humbly ask Thy pardon and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation not only for our own personal offenses,
but also for the sins of those, who, straying far from the path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow Thee, their Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing the vows of their baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy law. We are now resolved to expiate such and every deplorable outrage committed against Thee; we are determined to make amends for the manifold offenses against Christian modesty in unbecoming dress and behavior,
– for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent,
– for the frequent violation of Sundays and holidays, and the shocking blasphemies uttered against Thee and Thy Saints. We wish also to make amends for the insults to which Thy Vicar earth and Thy priests are subjected,
– for the profanation, by conscious neglect or terrible acts of sacrilege, of the very Sacrament of Thy divine love; and lastly for the public crimes of nations who resist the rights and the teaching authority of the Church which Thou hast founded. Would, O Divine Jesus, we were able to wash away such abominations with our blood! We now offer, in reparation for these violations of Thy divine honor, the satisfaction Thou didst once make to Thine eternal Father on the cross and which Thou does continue to renew daily on our altars; we offer it in union with the acts of atonement
of Thy Virgin Mother and all the Saints and of the pious faithful on earth; and we sincerely promise to make recompense, as far as we can with the help of Thy grace, for all neglect of Thy great love and for the sins we and others have committed in the past. Henceforth we will live a life of unwavering faith, of purity of conduct, of perfect observance of the precepts of the gospel and especially that of charity. We promise to the best of our power to prevent others from offending Thee and to bring as many as possible to follow Thee.
O loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary our model in reparation, deign to receive the voluntary offering we make of this act of expiation; and by the crowning gift of perseverance keep us faithful unto death in our duty and the allegiance we owe to Thee, so that we may all one day come to that happy home, where Thou with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.
Reparation Prayer
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 hope 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 generous 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
Act of Reparation by Pope Pius VII
Jesus, my God, my Saviour, true God and true Man, with that most profound homage with which the faith itself inspires me, I adore and love Thee with my whole heart, enclosed in the most august Sacrament of the Altar, in reparation for all the acts of irreverence, profanation, and sacrilege, which I may ever have been so unhappy as to have committed, as well as for all such like acts that ever have been done, or which may be done, though God forbid they should be, in ages yet to come. I adore Thee, therefore, my God, not indeed as Thou deservest, nor as much as I am bound to adore, but as far as I am able; and I would that I could adore Thee with all the perfection of which all reasonable persons are capable. Meantime I purpose now and ever to adore Thee, not only for those Catholics who adore Thee not, and love Thee not, but also in the stead of, and for the conversion of all heretics, schismatics, impious atheists, blasphemers,
impostors and idolaters. Jesus, my God, mayest Thou be ever known, adored, loved, and praised every moment, in the most holy and divine Sacrament. I adore Thee every moment, O living Bread of Heaven, Great Sacrament! Jesus, Heart of Mary, I pray Thee send Thy blessing on my soul. Holiest Jesus, loving Saviour! I give Thee my heart. May all know, adore, and praise every moment, always, the most holy and divine Sacrament. Amen.
