Day - 4
(Console Holy Face and recite Daily Preparatory Prayer)
Psalm 51, 8-9.
Indeed you love truth in the heart;
then in the secret of my heart
teach me Wisdom.
O purify me,
then I shall be clean;
O wash me,
I shall be whiter than snow.
O Lord Jesus, who has said,
learn of me for I am meek and gentle of heart,
and who did manifest upon Thy Holy Face
the sentiments of Thy divine heart,
grant that we may love
to come frequently and meditate upon
Thy divine features.
We may read there
Thy gentleness and Thy humility,
and learn how to form our hearts
in the practice of these two virtues
which Thou desires to see
shine in Thy servants.
Mary our Mother and Saint Joseph help us.
Through the merits
of Thy precious blood and your Holy Face,
O Jesus, grant us our petition,
Pardon and Mercy.
Prayer in Honor of
the Dolors of the Blessed Virgin
O Most Holy and afflicted Virgin,
Queen of Martyrs!
Who stood beneath the cross,
witnessing the agony of your dying Son,
look down with a mother's tenderness
and pity on us as we kneel before you
to venerate your Dolors,
and place our requests,
with filial confidence,
in the sanctuary of your wounded heart.
Present them on our behalf to Jesus,
through the merits of His most sacred Passion and Death,
together with your sufferings
at the foot of the cross,
and through the united efficacy of both,
obtain the favor which we humbly ask.
To whom shall we go
in our wants and miseries if not to you.
O Mother of Mercy,
who having so deeply drunk
of the chalice of your Son,
graciously alleviate the sufferings
of those who still sigh in this land of exile.
Amen.
Prayer to the Souls in Purgatory
My Jesus, by the sorrows you suffered
in your agony in the garden,
in your scourging and crowning with thorns,
in the way to Calvary,
in your crucifixion and death,
have mercy on the souls in Purgatory,
and especially on those that are most forsaken.
Deliver them from the dire torments they endure.
Call them and admit them
to your most sweet embrace in Paradise.
Amen.
Pray one (1) Our Father, (3) Hail Mary's, (1) Glory Be.
O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every adoration Thine. (Three times)
