Holy Face Devotion

"Whoever gazes upon Me already consoles Me."
(Our Lord to Sister Pierina)

The Golden Arrow

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and
ineffable Name of God be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven on Earth and under the Earth by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. 
Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the adorable Face of Thy Beloved Son for the glory and honour of Thy Name, for the conversion of sinners and the salvation of the dying.
Amen.
*************
The Promises of our Lord, Jesus Christ, to those devoted to His Holy Face

1.  I will grant them contrition so perfect that their very sins shall be changed in My sight into jewels of precious gold.

2.  None of these persons shall ever be separated from Me.

3.  In offering My Face to My Father, they will appease His anger and they will purchase as with celestial coin, pardon for poor sinners.

4.  I will open My mouth to plead with My Father to grant all the petitions that they will present to Me.

5.  I will illuminate them with My light.  I will consume them with My love and I will render them fruitful of good works.

6.  They will, as the pious Veronica, wipe My adorable Face outraged by sin, and I will imprint My divine Features in their souls.

7.  At their death, I will renew in them the image of God effaced by sin.

8.  By resemblance to My Face, they will shine more than many others in eternal life and the brilliancy of My Face will fill them with joy.

I have this picture of the Holy Face, about a year ago Jackie became very attached to this image and began talking to Him almost every day.  Having Down Syndrome, she had not yet received her First Holy Communion.  But, upon her great devotion to Jesus' Holy Face we knew it was time for her to receive Jesus' body and blood.  What a wonderful day that was!

We love you Jesus!
