Daily Prayers in Honor of the Most Holy Face of Jesus
*During the 1840’s, Our Lord appeared to Sister Mary of St. Peter for over a four and a half year period. She was a Carmelite Nun in Tours, France. He spoke to her at length about spreading throughout the world, the powerful devotion to His Most Holy Face. For additional information and prayers, please see the Most Powerful Prayers of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus.
Daily Prayers in Honor of the Most Holy Face of Jesus
Especially throughout the season of Lent, the devotion to the Holy Face of Our Lord Jesus Christ reminds us that although Our Lord is fully God (fully divine), He is also fully man. Thus His passion was no trivial matter. Christ shed His Precious Blood for us as He born upon Himself the sins of the world.
Our Lord gives to us different “medicines” as remedies for problems during different times. In our time now, the first three Commandments are under vicious attack by widespread blasphemy, profanations of Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, and atheism (or any variation of it). Man’s sin against the first three Commandments offend God the most. But one thing we can do about it is to have a special devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. As was told to Sister Mary, we can pray Holy Face devotion prayers, venerate the Holy Face with adoration and love, and perform acts of faith with piety, zeal, and penance in reparation for the outrages committed against God.
Thus, let us gaze upon His Most Holy Face, every day of the week, with these Daily Prayers in Honor of the Most Holy Face of Jesus. As He looks upon us with compassion and love, He calls us to a life of repentance – a picking up of our cross and the courage to follow Him.
May the passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

us from evil. Amen.

O Divine Redeemer, consoled in Thy bitter Passion by the tender ministration of the holy woman Veronica, who wiped Thy Sacred face and received the reward of her charity and valor by the imprint of Thy Holy Countenance upon her veil; imprint upon our hearts the remembrance of the sufferings and humiliations Thou didst endure for love of us, and keep us from ever insulting Thee again by our sins. Amen.
For Tuesday
O Almighty and Eternal God, look upon the Face of Thine only-begotten Son, Jesus. We present It to Thee with confidence, to implore Thy pardon.

Amen.
For Wednesday
O Good Jesus, Who has said, “Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you,” grant us, O Lord, in virtue of Thy resplendent Face upon which the Eternal Father gazes with ineffable love, that faith which obtains all, or supply in us what may be deficient; grant us, by the pure effect of Thy charity, and for Thine eternal glory, the grace of sincere contrition for our many sins, a firm purpose of amendment, and final perseverance in Thy love. Amen.
For Thursday
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the adorable Face of Thy Beloved Son for the honor and glory of Thy Name, for the conversion of sinners and for the salvation of the dying.

For Friday
O Lord Jesus Christ, in presenting ourselves before Thine adorable Face to ask of Thee the graces of which we stand most in need, we beseech Thee, above all, to grant us that interior disposition of never refusing at any time to do what Thou dost require of us by Thy holy Commandments and Divine inspirations. Amen.
For Saturday
Adorable Face of my Jesus, my only love, my light and my life, grant that I may know, love and serve Thee alone; that I may live with Thee, in Thee, by Thee, and for Thee.
O merciful Mother, Mary most Sorrowful, let thy tender hand wipe from my soul not only the stains of sin, but also its consequences, which would paralyze the effects of thy reign in my heart. Restore to the souls of thy children the image of Jesus in all its beauty. Obtain for us great purity of heart, of body, and of mind, that we may contemplate the Face of God in Heaven forever. Amen.
