The Crusade of Eucharistic Reparation is a lay sodality run by OnePeterFive in partnership with Benedictus and LatinMass.com (Mass of the Ages).
This crusade was called by His Excellency, Bishop Athanasius Schneider in June of 2020 in response to the profanations of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament during the COVID crisis. Now he has also added the intention of the reversal of Traditionis Custodes.
A crusade is a spiritual and temporal war called by the clergy, but waged primarily by the laity. It is time to fight for the central dogma of our faith, which is under attack perhaps more than any other dogma: the Real Presence of Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
Intentions of this Crusade
To make reparation to God for the sins committed against the Blessed Sacrament
The restoration of the Latin Mass in the Church.
Requirements
At least one hour Adoration per month in reparation for the sins committed against the Blessed Sacrament.
Pray at least once per month the Prayer of the Crusade of Reparation to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus written by Bishop Athanasius Schneider. Prayers cards can be purchased here.

You can download a PDF of the Rite of Investment with the Crusader Cross and give it to your priest to invest you like a scapular. This ritual was adapted by Aaron Seng at our partner Benedictus from the rite of imposition of a Crusading Cross, as found in the Clementine Pontificale (1595). It has approved for use by any priest by Bishop Athanasius Schneider.

A shortened form of the prayer is also available for daily use:
We offer all these intentions to Our Lady of Sorrows who stood at the foot of the Cross and likewise sees the continued abuse of her Son in the Blessed Sacrament, that she may purify these efforts and offer them to God by her hands. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee, and for those who have no recourse to thee – especially the enemies of Holy Church!
