Day - 7
(Console Holy Face and recite Daily Preparatory Prayer)
Psalm 51, 14-15.
Give me again the joy of your help,
with a spirit of fervor sustain me,
that I may teach transgressors your ways
and sinners may return to you.
Lord Jesus! After contemplating Thy features,
disfigured by grief,
after meditating upon Thy passion
with compunction and love,
how can our hearts fail to be
inflamed with a holy hatred of sin,
which even now outrages Thy Adorable Face!
Lord, suffer us not to be
content with mere compassion,
but give us grace so closely
to follow Thee in this Calvary,
so that the approbrium destined for Thee
may fall on us, O Jesus,
that thus we may have a share,
small though it may be,
in expiation of sin.
Amen.
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 in Honor of Mary
Hail Mary, Daughter of God the Father!
Hail Mary, Mother of God the Son!
Hail Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit!
Hail Mary, Temple of the Most Holy Trinity!
Hail Mary, our mistress,
our wealth, our mystic rose,
Queen of our hearts, our Mother, our life,
our sweetness and our dearest hope!
We are all Thine,
and all we have is Thine.
O Virgin blessed above all things,
may Thy soul be in us
to magnify the Lord;
may Thy spirit be in us
to rejoice in God.
Place Thyself, O faithful Virgin,
as a seal upon our hearts,
that in Thee and through Thee
we may be found faithful to God.
Grant, most gracious Virgin,
that we may be numbered
among those whom Thou art pleased to love,
to teach and to guide,
to favor and to protect as Thy children.
Grant that with the help of Thy love,
we may despise all earthly consolation
and cling to heavenly things,
until through the Holy Spirit,
Thy faithful spouse, and through Thee,
His faithful spouse,
Jesus Christ, Thy Son,
be formed within us
for the glory of the Father.
Amen.
(St. Grignon de Montfort)
Pray one (1) Our Father, (3) Hail Mary's, (1) Glory Be.
O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every adoration Thine. (Three times)
