"As a concrete measure to offer to the Eucharistic Lord urgently needed acts of reparation and consolation, each Catholic could promise to offer monthly at least one full hour of Eucharistic adoration, either before the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle or before the Blessed Sacrament exposed in the monstrance. The Holy Scripture says: “Where sin abounded, grace did more abound” (Rm. 5:20) and we can add analogously: “Where Eucharistic abuses abounded, acts of reparation will more abound.”   ~Bishop Schneider

This crusade means making a commitment to God to do one or all of these things:

1. One hour Adoration per month in reparation for the sins committed against the Blessed Sacrament.
2. Pray regularly the Prayer of the Crusade of Reparation to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.

PRAYER OF THE CRUSADE OF EUCHARISTIC REPARATION

The prayer in Gethsemane
Cardinal Wojtyła spoke about the duty of the Church to console Christ:

"And now the Church seeks to recover that hour in Gethsemane—the hour lost by Peter, James and John—so as to compensate for the Master’s lack of companionship which increased his soul’s suffering. The desire to recover that hour has become a real need for many hearts, especially for those who live as fully as they can the mystery of the divine heart. The Lord Jesus allows us to meet him in that hour [and] he invites us to share the prayer of his heart.

Faced with all the trials that man and the Church have to undergo, there is a constant need to return to Gethsemane and undertake that sharing in the prayer of Christ our Lord.” ~Cardinal Wojtyła

Fr. Bart Stevens leads a monthly Holy Hour of Reparation on each First Friday at 6:00pm - 7:00pm.
