The Golden Arrow prayer
The Golden Arrow prayer is based on reports of visions of Jesus by Sister Mary of Saint Peter, a Discalced Carmelite nun of Tours, in 1843. It is a prayer of Reparation in praise of the Holy Name of God. It is also a reparation for the profanation of Sunday and the Holy Days of Obligation. Description. On March 16, 1844, Jesus reportedly told Sister Mary: ""Oh if you only knew what great merit you acquire by saying even once, Admirable is the Name of God, in a spirit of reparation for blasphemy."" Sister Mary stated  that Jesus told her that the two sins which offend Him the most grievously are blasphemy and the profanation of Sunday. He called this prayer the "Golden Arrow", saying that those who would recite it would pierce Him delightfully, and also heal those other wounds inflicted on Him by the malice of sinners. Sr. Mary of St. Peter saw, "streaming from the Sacred Heart of Jesus, delightfully wounded by this 'Golden Arrow,' torrents of graces for the conversion of sinners. This prayer appears in the book “The Golden Arrow”, the autobiography of Sister Mary of Saint Peter. In her book  she wrote that in her visions Jesus told her that an act of sacrilege or blasphemy is like a "poisoned arrow", hence the name “Golden Arrow” for this reparatory prayer.
