Let me say this, if St. Nicholas were here, he would not only join in but he would be leading it and then he would take care of some of these malefactors in a manly manner.
The statement and prayers are below.
In light of recent events regarding the Pachamama ritual in
the Vatican Gardens, the subsequent procession of the idol into St. Peter’s, as
well as placing the idols in St. Maria in Traspontina church, we are reminded
of the words of St. Paul (1 Corinthians 10:20), “Do I say, that what is offered
in sacrifice to idols, is anything? Or, that the idol is anything? But the
things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God.
And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.”
The Psalms (95:5) tell us that “all the gods of the Gentiles
are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.” These events bring home the reality
that (Ephesians 6:12) “our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but
against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this
darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.” These events
bring home the reality that we are in spiritual warfare and that warfare is
happening within the Church, itself.
We are, therefore, encouraging all Catholics who recognize
the evil of the events to join us in a day of prayer and penance on December
6th, for the purpose of driving out any diabolic influence within the Church
that has been gained as a result of these recent events — along with any other
events.
We are asking all of those who participate to do the
following for this intention:
1.) say the Rosary;
2.) take on some form of penance, such as fasting,
abstinence and other forms of mortification;
3.) to offer the prayers to the Sacred Heart, as seen below.
Other recommended acts which we encourage others to do for
this intention is make a Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament and attend
Mass that day, offering the merits of the Mass for this intention.
May the Divine Mercy rest upon all of us.

Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon
us humbly prostrate before Thy altar. We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be;
but, to be more surely united with Thee, behold each one of us freely
consecrates himself today to Thy Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed have never
known Thee; many too, despising Thy precepts, have rejected Thee. Have mercy on
them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart.
Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have
never forsaken Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee;
grant that they may quickly return to their Father's house lest they die of
wretchedness and hunger.
Be Thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous
opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof; call them back to the harbor of truth
and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd.
Be Thou King of all those who are still involved in the
darkness of idolatry or of Islamism; refuse not to draw them all into the light
and kingdom of God. Turn Thine eyes of mercy toward the children of that race,
once Thy chosen people: of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of
the Savior; may it now descend upon them a laver of redemption and of life.
Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church assurance of freedom and
immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth
resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the Divine Heart that wrought
our salvation; to It be glory and Honor forever. Amen.
Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O sweet Jesus, Whose overflowing charity for men is requited
by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before
Thy altar eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and
injuries, to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject.
Mindful alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such
great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, we
humbly ask Thy pardon and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation
not only for our own personal offenses, but also for the sins of those, who,
straying far from the path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity
to follow Thee, their Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing the vows of their
baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy Law.
We are now resolved to expiate each and every deplorable
outrage committed against Thee; we are determined to make amends for the
manifold offenses against Christian modesty in unbecoming dress and behavior,
for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent, for the
frequent violations of Sundays and holidays, and the shocking blasphemies
uttered against Thee and Thy Saints.
We wish also to make amends for the insults to which Thy
Vicar on earth and Thy priests are subjected, for the profanation, by conscious
neglect or terrible acts of sacrilege, of the very Sacrament of Thy Divine
Love; and lastly for the public crimes of nations who resist the rights and
teaching authority of the Church which Thou hast founded.
Would, O divine Jesus, we were able to wash away such
abominations with our blood. We now offer, in reparation for these violations
of Thy divine honor, the satisfaction Thou didst once make to Thy eternal
Father on the cross and which Thou dost continue to renews daily on our altars;
we offer it in union with the acts of atonement of Thy Virgin Mother and all
the Saints and of the pious faithful on earth; and we sincerely promise to make
recompense, as far as we can with the help of Thy grace, for all neglect of Thy
great love and for the sins we and others have committed in the past.
Henceforth we will live a life of unwavering faith, of purity of conduct, of
perfect observance of the precepts of the gospel and especially that of
charity. We promise to the best of our power to prevent other from offending
Thee and to bring as many as possible to follow Thee.
O loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, our model in reparation, deign to receive the voluntary offering
we make of this act of expiation; and by the crowning gift of perseverance keep
us faithful unto death in our duty and the allegiance we owe to Thee, so that
we may one day come to that happy home, where Thou with the Father and the Holy
Ghost livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.
