*What reparation is and why it matters
*Why everyone should make reparation
*How reparation should be made (and what to avoid!)
*Why devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Holy Eucharist are vital to reparation
*Why our Lord wants reparation to be the foundation of Christian livingFr. Plus’s work is replete with compelling anecdotes that illustrate how developing a spirit of reparation is critical to advancing spiritually. Fr. Plus provides rich insights and examples from our Lady and saints who lived lives of sacrifice, including John the Evangelist, John Vianney, Mary Magdalene, Margaret Mary, and several modern saints.
Through a dozen scriptural passages that Fr. Plus unpacks, you will learn the theology behind reparation and how to teach it to others. You will also learn how to develop a spirit of reparation according to the circumstances of your life, how to compensate for the sins of others, and why spiritual direction is advised for discerning the types of reparation most suitable for you.
Above all, you will experience the Call of the King to discover the path that leads to the ultimate goal – joy with the Lord in the afterlife. Each page invites you to enter into Christ’s Heart by sharing in His work of redemption, even in the most seemingly insignificant ways.
