Day - 8
(Console Holy Face and recite Daily Preparatory Prayer)
Psalm 51, 16-17.
O rescue me, God my helper,
and my tongue shall sing out your goodness.
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth shall declare your praise.
Most merciful Face of Jesus,
who in this vale of tears
was so moved by our misfortunes
to call yourself the healer of the sick,
and the good Shepherd of the souls gone astray,
allow not Satan to draw us away from you,
but keep us always under your loving protection,
together with all souls
who endeavor to console you.
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 Saint Peter
O glorious Saint Peter,
who in return for thy lively and generous faith,
thy profound and sincere humility
and thy burning love,
was honored by Jesus Christ
with singular privileges,
and in particular,
with the leadership of the other apostles
and the primacy of the whole church,
of which thou was made
the foundation stone,
do thou obtain for us
the grace of a lively faith,
that shall not fear to profess itself
openly in its entirety
and in all of its manifestations,
even to the shedding of blood,
if occasion should demand it,
and to the sacrifice of life itself
in preference to surrender.
Obtain for us likewise
a sincere loyalty to our Holy Mother the Church.
Grant that we may ever remain
most closely and sincerely united
to the Holy Father,
who is the heir of thy faith
and of thy authority,
the one true visible head of the Catholic Church.
Grant, moreover, that we may follow,
in all humility and meekness,
the Church's teaching and counsels
and may be obedient to all her precepts,
in order to be able
here on earth to enjoy
a peace that is sure and undisturbed,
and to attain one day in heaven
to everlasting happiness.
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)
