I'm a late-stage Baby Boomer engaged in serious genealogical research for personal pursuits.

Sorry, but I will not transfer management of any memorials which I currently manage or have created if those memorials are of my own family blood lines.

Please don't add death certificate photos on my memorials. I know it's done here by some folk, but I think that is a crude and insensitive act. If I find a death certificate photo on a memorial I manage, I will have it removed. Where can you tactfully post a death certificate photo? The answer is to post it on your own family tree wherever you engage in family research. Many of us active here on Find A Grave already have created our own family trees, and most likely we don't need information from the general public such as death certificate information.

Regarding suggestions for editing my own family memorials, I may not accept your editing suggestions due to highly personal reasons which I won't disclose. If I created and/or manage one of my family member's memorials, I most likely won't accept editing suggestions from folk who know little to nothing about my family history and its details. I have reasons for the things I do and no explanation shall be given. Thanks for understanding.

"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. And may their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."

Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

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
