According to the writings of Mother Catherine Mectilde de Bar, the Day of Great Reparation takes place on the Thursday 
of Sexagesima week, this year today on February 28. Mère Catherine was a French Benedictine who lived in 17th century 
and was the foundress of the institute of the Benedictines of the Perpetual Adoration.

Holy Hour of Adoration and Reparation for the sins of Priests

From Fr. Kirby's page: 
(http://vultuschristi.org/index.php/2019/02/reparation-3/#respond):

"In her meditations for the Feast of Reparation, solemnized on the Thursday of Sexagesima week, 
Mother Mectilde de Bar  reflects on the sins of those who serve in the sanctuaries of the Lord. 
The Church, in her desolation, cries, O you who have some love for me, you who know all the glory
 that my Bridegroom deserves, see and consider if there be any sorrow like unto mine. O you, 
ministers of the Lord and friends of the Bridegroom, the Bride address these laments to you.
Hasten to relieve her pain by making reparation for the affronts to Jesus Christ; give Him the glory 
that others would strip from Him.
    Having once shown the disorders of the children of Israel to the prophet Jeremias, the Lord led
 him to the entrance of the temple; He ordered him to pierce an opening in its wall, and to look upon
 what was going on inside. The prophet obeyed, and says that therein he saw even greater abominations.

    Who, alas, does not grasp that this is but a figure? Who does not know that the sanctuary is the theater 
par excellence of the Lord’s ignominies? Who does not know that, alongside of priests who are fervent 
and truly divine, there are priests who are lukewarm and indifferent, priests who are wicked […]? 
And so, the Church, in calling [us] to reparation, begs us not to forget the outrages made against the
 glory of her Divine Spouse by His own ministers. Yours it is, she says, to expiate the sins of the Sanctuary;
 yours it is to bear the weight of the sins of the priesthood.

    Let us enter into these intentions of the Church, and united in spirit with what remains on earth of fervent
 Christians, and of priests pressed by the charity of Jesus Christ, let us strive to repair the outrages of
 indifference and impiety; let us lift up the throne of the Lord, and offer Him the tribute of homage that, by
 so many titles, He deserves."

The great roots of all the evils that press upon society, and make man unhappy, are "the ignorance of the mind, and the depravity of the will. "

Hence he who wished to civilize the world, and thus assist in executing the plans of God's providence, must remove these two great root of evil by imparting to the mind infallibly the light of truth, and by laying down for the will authoritatively the unchangeable principles of morality.

If the hierarchy of the Catholic Church has accomplished in society this twofold task, then has it rendered itself worthy of the praises of all men, and deserves to be called the greatest, the most astonishing, the most divine fact in the history of the world - then the hierarchy of the Catholic Church is truly " the light of the world, and the salt of the earth."

Prayer to the Holy Infant for priests

Jesus, Divine Infant, I bless and thank Your most loving Heart for the institution of the priesthood. Priests are sent by You, as You were sent by the Father. To them You entrusted the treasures of Your doctrine, of Your Law, of Your Grace, and souls themselves.

Grant me the grace to love them, to listen to them, and to let myself be guided by them in Your ways. Jesus, send good laborers into Your harvest. May priests be the salt that purifies and preserves; may they be the light of the world; may they be the city placed on the mountain. May they all be formed after Your own Heart. And in heaven may they be surrounded by a joyous throng of those they shepherded on earth. Amen.

Glory Be three times.
Infant Jesus, make me love You more and more!

Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that the souls of Thy servants, Thy priests whom in this life
Thou didst honor with the sacred office, may rejoice in the glory of Heaven for ever more.
Amen.

We pray for the happy repose of the soul of ........

May eternal rest be granted to him, O Lord, and let Perpetual Light shine upon him, and may he rest in peace. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. AMEN

(Say once a day for nine days, starting on 24 October until the eve of All Souls Day.)

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants and handmaids departed, the remission of all their sins; that through pious supplications they may obtain the pardon they have always desired. Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

O most loving Jesus, who deignest to trust Thyself daily to the hands of priests, I adore Thee with the utmost reverence; I deplore all the irreverences committed by priests, and I most ardently desire that Thou mayest be loved by all men in the Sacrament of Thy love.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory.

O God, who willest that Thy priests should be holy and without blemish before Thee; grant unto those whom Thou hast separated from among men in order to serve Thee at Thy holy altar, all sacerdotal virtues. So engrave the priestly character in the souls of those who are about to be admitted to the Sacred Order of Priesthood, that they may never in any way degenerate from their high vocation, but serve Thee in all holiness. Amen.

There are few prayers so capable of disarming the justice of God, as the Penitential Psalms.
We should endeavor to enter into the sentiments of compunction, love, devotion, admiration,
and confidence, with which the Royal Prophet was penetrated when he composed them.
He often speaks of the enemies who persecuted him, and these expressions may readily
be applied to the devil and sin.
