"I firmly wish that my face
reflecting the intimate pains of my soul,
the suffering and love of my heart,
be more honored!
Whoever gazes upon me
already consoles me."
(Our Lord Jesus Christ to Sister Pierina)
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 your 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)
"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 likeness of their features
with my divine countenance."
(Our Lord Jesus Christ to St. Gertrude)
Day 1:
(Console Holy Face and recite Daily Preparatory Prayer)
Psalm 51, 3-4.
Have mercy on me,
O God in your goodness,
in your 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.
You are 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.
Through the merits of your
precious blood and your Holy Face,
O Jesus, grant us our petition,
Pardon and Mercy.
Prayer to Our Almighty Father.
Almighty Father, come into our hearts,
and so fill us with your love
that forsaking all evil desires,
we may embrace you, our only good.
Show us, O Lord our God,
what you are to us.
Say to our souls,
I am your salvation,
speak so that we may hear.
Our hearts are before you;
open our ears;
let us hasten after your voice.
Hide not your Face from us,
we beseech you, O Lord.
Open our hearts so that you may enter in.
Repair the ruined mansions,
that you may dwell therein.
Hear us, O Heavenly Father,
for the sake of your only Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.
(St. Augustine)
Pray one (1) Our Father, (3) Hail Mary's, (1) Glory Be,
O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every adoration Thine. (Three times)
