    THE CHURCH I have been shown that Our Lord loves to have his most Holy Face enshrined in the Church, for many have been destined to be converted through gazing upon his most Holy Face. “My heart says of you, ‘seek his face’! Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me” (Psalm 27; 8-10). The Father sent The Word in person commanding Him to show Himself openly so that the world could see Him and be saved. “Whoever gazes upon me, already consoles me” (Blessed Mother Pierina). HERESY – BLASPHEMY - IMPURITY “For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels” (Luke 9-26). CRISIS OF FAITH On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the second Vatican council, Pope Benedict XVI, the Vicar of PROUD Christ on earth has diagnosed the state of health of the contemporary Church in the modern World. There is a serious present day crisis of Faith. His prayer, reflections, and teaching have invited the whole Church to renew Her We should be proud that we are Catholics and belong to the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Be proud of Jesus! Be "Faith" in God. This is significant in light of what Jesus said to the apostles who asked him why they had no power proud to boldly show his most Holy Face to all, and to place the image of his most Holy Face, not only in your over a demon.

    Nine Day Novena In Honor Of The Most Holy Face Of Jesus “All those who, attracted by my love, and venerating my countenance, shall receive, by virtue of my humanity, a brilliant and vivid impression of my divinity. This splendor shall enlighten the depths of their souls, so that in eternal glory the celestial court shall marvel at the marked like- ness of their features with my divine countenance.” (Our Lord Jesus Christ to St. Gertrude) DAILY PREPARATORY PRAYER O Most Holy and Blessed Trinity, through the intercession of Holy Mary, whose soul was pierced through by a sword of sorrow at the sight of the passion of her Divine Son, we ask Thy help in making a perfect Novena of reparation with Jesus, united with all His sorrows, love, and total abandonment. We now implore all the Angels and Saints to intercede for us as we pray this Holy Novena to the Most Holy Face of Jesus and for the glory of the most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. (Start novena) Day One Console The Holy Face recite the Daily Preparatory Prayer then…Psalm 51, 3-4. Have mercy on me, O God in Thy goodness, in Thy great tenderness wipe away my faults; wash me clean of my guilt, purify me from my sin. O most Holy Face of Jesus, look with tenderness on us who are sinners. Thou art a merciful God, full of love and compassion. Keep us pure of heart, so that we may see Thee always. Mary, our Mother, intercede for us; Saint Joseph, pray for us.

  • Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus Booklet
    Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus booklet A Heaven – revealed remedy to the ills of our times This salutary reparation to the Holy Face is a Divine Work to save modern society” (Pope Pius IX) A Heaven- revealed Remedy to the Ills of our Times HISTORY Devotion to the Holy Face was revealed by Jesus to Sr. Marie of St Peter (1816-1848) a Carmelite nun of Tours in France. The primary purpose of the devotion is to make reparation for sins against the first three commandments: Denial of God (atheism / communism), Blasphemy, and the profanation of Sundays and Holy Days The devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, based on the life and writings of Sr. Marie of St. Peter, was eventually approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1885 who established the devotion as an Arch-confraternity for the whole world. In January 1849 Pope Pius IX had the relic of Veronica’s veil placed for public veneration in Rome. During this time, the Divine Face appeared distinctly, as if living, and was illuminated by a soft light. Reproductions of the veil such as the one above were later printed, touched to the original and sent abroad for veneration. This devotion the Holy Face of Jesus so inspired St Therese that she took the title: ‘Sr. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the holy face.’ Promises given to Sr. Marie of St Peter for the devotion of reparation: 1) All those who honor my face in a spirit of reparation will by doing so perform the office of the pious Veronica.

Sister Mary of St. Peter was an extremely pious Carmelite nun of the first half of the nineteenth century. Her extreme humility takes some getting used to for twenty-first century readers, but be assured she is the real deal. Although even her contemporaries have problems taking her seriously, she means every word. As soon as she starts quoting Jesus, this becomes increasingly obvious. Most of what we learn about her life in Carmel in this first section is before the revelations begin.

    PREDESTINED Those whom God foreknew, He predestined to share the image of His Son. Those He predestined, He likewise called; those He called, He also justified. (Romans 8:29-30) St. Padre Pio spent much of his time in the confessional. One should always strive to remain in a state of grace. One day as Padre Pio was hearing confessions a young girl came in to confess, as soon as she knelt down, Padre Pio said: “What have you done?” The girl did not I PROMISE PERSONAL AND answer. Padre Pio said: “Do you see a vision”? She answered, “No”; again Padre Pio asked, “Now do you see a vision”? She replied, “Yes, but not clearly”. Again he asked “Now do you SPIRITUAL PROTECTION TO ALL see it”? The girl replied, “Yes, I see a Pope, he is very handsome. Padre Pio said: “The baby WHO VENERATE THIS MEDAL. you aborted was destined to become Pope”.

  • Holy Hour of Reparation
    HOLY HOUR OF REPARATION HOPE AND HEALING FOR THE wORLD “Reparation is a work destined to save society.” His Holiness Pope Pius IX In the Roman Catholic tradition, an Act of Reparation is a prayer, devotion or sacrifice with the intent to repair the "sins of others", e.g. For the repair of the sin of blasphemy, the sufferings of Jesus Christ or as Acts of Reparation to the Virgin Mary. These prayers do not usually involve a petition for a living or deceased beneficiary, but aim to repair sins. In his encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor Pope Pius XI defined reparation as follows: The creature's love should be given in return for the love of the Creator, another thing follows from this at once, namely that to the same uncreated Love, if so be it has been neglected by forgetfulness or violated by offense, some sort of compensation must be rendered for the injury, and this debt is commonly called by the name of Reparation [2] St. John Paul II referred to reparation as the "unceasing effort to stand beside the endless crosses on which the Son of God continues to be crucified". Our Lord was comforted by an Angel in the Garden of Gethsemane. Surely, when the sins of the world were being put onto His sacred flesh, including yours and mine, Christ was filled with love and pity for us. There is a need today for more people to come to our Lord in the garden as angels of consolation, to console Him in the work of our redemption.
