Regarder sans cesse les secrets de Votre
beauté, à contempler
Sans cesse cette Face, dans le secret de
laquelle doivent
S’enfoncer mes yeux à tous les instants de ma vie. »
Prayers of
reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus as requested by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
These prayers are to be said on Sundays and
the Holy Days of Obligation, publicly (if possible), and preferably before the
Blessed Sacrament or before the picture of the Holy Face.
Dear Lord, through the Sorrowful and
Immaculate Heart of Mary, I (we) offer You these prayers in reparation for the
sins which offend God the most in these modern times, the sins of blasphemy and
the profanation of Sunday and Your Holy Days of Obligation:
One Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory
Be To The Father
The “Golden Arrow” prayer dictated by Our Lord to Sister Mary
of St. Peter :
May the most holy, most sacred, most
adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always 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.”
After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of
St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus
delightfully wounded by this "Golden Arrow", as torrents of graces
streamed from It far the conversion of sinners.
Prayer to offer the Holy Face of Jesus to God
the Father to appease His Justice and draw down mercy upon us :
Almighty and Eternal Father, since it has
pleased Our Divine Savior to reveal to mankind in modern times the power
residing in His Holy Face, we now avail ourselves of this Treasure in our great
need.
Since our Savior Himself promised that by
offering to You His Holy Face disfigured in the Passion we can procure the
settlement of all the affairs of our household, and that nothing whatsoever
will be refused to us, we now come before Your throne.
Eternal Father, turn away Your angry gaze
from our guilty people whose face has become unsightly in Your eyes.
Look instead upon the Face of Your Beloved Son;
for this is the Face of Him in whom You are well pleased.
We now offer You His Holy Face covered with
blood, sweat, dust, spittle and shame, in reparation for the worst crimes of
our age, which are atheism, blasphemy, and the desecration of Your holy days.
We thus hope to appease Your anger justly
provoked against us.
The All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth
to plead our cause; listen to His cries, behold His tears, O God, and through
the merits of His Holy Face hearken to Him when He intercedes for us poor
miserable sinners.”
