The Great Revival of the Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus

"By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained." ~ Jesus to Sr. Mary of St. Peter


An Aspiration to the Eternal Father
 
Eternal Father, we offer You the Holy Face of Jesus, 
 covered with blood, sweat, dust and spittle, 
in reparation for the sins of mankind.  
Amen.
 

  Promises of Our Lord Jesus Christ
in Favor of Those Who Honor His Holy Face 1

1.  All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica.  According to the care they take in making reparation to My Face, disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin.  My Face is the seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God.

2.  Those who by words, prayers or writing defend My cause in this Work of Reparation I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom.

3.  By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained.

4.  By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God and draw down mercy on sinners.

5.  As in a kingdomm they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of my Holy Face.

6.  Those who on earth contemplate the woulds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory.

7.  They will receive in their souls a bright and contant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendor in Heaven.

8.  I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance. 






Meditate on Christ's Passion, every single day:

in particular the moment when the Crown of Thorns was removed from His Sacred Head:


Longinus, Our Lady, Her Love, and the Lance:


God is so in love with humanity.
