THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS February 21, 2023
“ ETERNAL FATHER, THROUGH THE HOLY FACE OF YOUR PRECIOUS SON JESUS CHRIST, HAVE PITY ON US AND ON THE WHOLE WORLD. AMEN. “
“ — OUR LORD JESUS has promised me for all those who defend His cause in this Work of Reparation, by words, by prayers, or in writing, that He will defend them before His Father; at their death He will purify their souls by effacing all the blots of sin and will restore to them their primitive beauty. — ” (Sr. Mary of St. Peter, March 12, 1846)
TO THE MOST HOLY FACE OF CHRIST By St. Therese of the Child Jesus
“ O MY JESUS, Who in Thy bitter Passion didst become “the most abject of men, a man of sorrows”, I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men. The tears which well up abundantly in Thy sacred eyes appear to me as so many precious pearls that I love to gather up, in order to purchase the souls of poor sinners by means of their infinite value. O Jesus, whose adorable Face ravishes my heart, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine image and to set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven. Amen. “
O BLEEDING FACE, O FACE DIVINE, be every adoration Thine!
