Holy Hour of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

by Soul Assurance Prayer Plan

In June 1933, the idea for The Soul Assurance Prayer Plan was revealed to a layman during a Holy Hour visitation. On June 4, 1935, after two years of discernment, the layman and Reverend Lyons, with ecclesiastical permission, expressed the idea of the Holy Hour in a single leaflet. Since that time, this devotion, with Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception as the chosen Protectress, has spread throughout the world. In 1945, the Holy Hour of Reparation book was published, and shortly after, was taken to Rome and presented to Pope Pius XII for his approval. He studied the booklet and approved it saying, "This is one of the most powerful prayers that you can pray and is second only to the Mass." We hope to re-publish in Polish, Italian, French, German and many other languages. Financial assistance will determine this direction. Soul Assurance is a non-for-profit organization. Your financial assistance would greatly help. If you wish to help publish a book as an archangel, please call. When Our lord entered the garden of Gethsemani He said to his Apostles: "My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here and watch with Me (Mat. 26:38)." As Jesus spoke with His Apostles, so He pleads with us to stay and watch and pray with Him. The Sacred Heart of Jesus said to St. Margaret Mary: "Make reparation for the ingratitude of men. Spend an hour in prayer to appease divine justice, to implore mercy for sinners, to honor Me, to console Me for My bitter suffering when abandoned by My Apostles, when they did not watch one hour with me." This booklet contains all of the prayers necessary to make a holy hour of reparation before the Blessed Sacrament. A plenary indulgence is gained each time you praythis devotion under the conditions of Sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayers for the intention of the Holy Father.

Did this with my husband Friday afternoon, June 16, 2023, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart. We went as far as the Rosary which takes 45 minutes. The rest is another 20 minutes if you do it on your own. Longer if you do it aloud with a group. My husband's comment, "No wonder you Catholics pray so fast!"

June 1, 2018: Have started a group at our parish where we do a Holy Hour of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus every First Friday using this book as our guide. Our group is still small but they like it. Today we had a young foreign exchange student from Cameroon join us. Very devout!


February 15, 2018: Did this for Jesus and those who died in Florida school shooting yesterday. This is so simple, soothing and peaceful. Why have I let it go so long since doing it?


June-December 2013: Gave this as a gift to the group of ladies who did the 9 First Fridays with me this year. Wonderful guide!

Fantastic....from the treasury of the Church. I want to see how many of my priest friends I can get to implement this in their parishes. This should happen in every parish, every Thursday night!

An enormous and holy help at adoration. Old skool is most cool.

Wonderful prayer guide for a powerful holy hour, but it always takes me longer than an hour :-)

Lovely - and very helpful little book, recalling the time when devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was so key to the life of the Church.

It is high-time that this devotion is once again awakened in the modern Church and if you agree with this, you may also be interested in my own website devoted His Most Sacred Heart, which has numerous resources similar to the book above.

I found this book in my deceased Dad's old library of books today. I was looking for something to bring to Adoration to draw closer to Our Lord, to speak to His heart, and it was exactly what was needed. It has truly beautiful prayers all the way through it, and I look forward to visiting Jesus again to make further reparation to His Most Sacred Heart. What a wonderful treasure to find.
