Repairing indifference is a form of love

The prayer taught at Fatima speaks of repairing outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences. Reparation is not obsessing over keeping an account of offences, but responding with love where love has been lacking. Indifference hurts in a quiet, silent way. It breaks nothing in plain sight; it simply leaves one alone, passes by, or treats a presence as though it did not matter. Reparation begins by looking again and giving time. You can live it with Christ in the tabernacle and also with people. A visit, an apology, a time of adoration, or listening to someone you have ignored are ways of placing concrete love into a real void.
