Day - 9
(Console Holy Face and recite Daily Preparatory Prayer)
Psalm 51, 18-21.
For in sacrifice you take no delight,
burnt offering from me you would refuse,
my sacrifice a contrite spirit.
A humbled, contrite heart
you will not spurn.
In your goodness, show favor to Zion;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
Then you will be pleased with lawful sacrifice,
holocausts offered on your altar.
Sacred Face of our Lord and our God,
what words can we do to express our gratitude?
How can we speak of our joy?
That you have deigned to hear us,
that you have chosen to answer us
in our hour of need.
We say this because
we know that our prayers will be granted.
We know that you,
in your loving kindness,
listened to our pleading hearts,
and will give, out of your fullness,
the answer to our problems.
Mary, our Mother,
thank you for your intercession
on our behalf.
Saint Joseph,
thank you for your prayers.
Through the merits of
your precious blood and your Holy Face,
O Jesus, grant us our petition,
Pardon and Mercy.
Prayer to the Holy Trinity
Most Holy Trinity, Godhead indivisible,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
our first beginning and our last end.
Since you have made us
after your own image and likeness,
grant that all the thoughts of our minds,
all the words of our tongues,
all the affections of our hearts
and all our actions may be always conformed
to your most Holy Will,
so that after having seen you
here on earth in appearances
and in a dark manner by the means of faith,
we may come at last
to contemplate you face to face,
in the perfect possession of you
forever 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)
Act of Consecration
O Lord Jesus, we believe,
most firmly in You, we love You.
You are the Eternal Son of God
and the Son Incarnate of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
You are the Lord
and Absolute Ruler of all creation.
We acknowledge You, therefore,
as the Universal Sovereign of all creatures.
You are the Lord and Supreme Ruler
of all mankind, and we,
in acknowledging this Your dominion,
consecrate ourselves to You now and forever.
Loving Jesus, we place
our family under the protection of Your Holy Face,
and of Your Virgin Mother, Mary most sorrowful.
We promise to be faithful to You
for the rest of our lives
and to observe with fidelity
Your Holy Commandments,
We will never deny before men,
You and Your Divine rights over us and all mankind.
Grant us the grace to never sin again;
nevertheless, should we fail,
O Divine Savior, have mercy on us
and restore us to Your grace.
Radiate Your Divine Countenance upon us
and bless us now and forever.
Embrace us at the hour of death
in Your Kingdom for all eternity,
through the intercession of Your Blessed Mother,
of all Your Saints who behold You in Heaven,
and the just who glorify You on earth,
O Jesus, be mindful of us forever
and never forsake us;
protect our family.
O Mother of Sorrows,
by the eternal glory
which you enjoy in Heaven,
through the merits of your bitter anguish
in the Sacred Passion of your Beloved Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
obtain for us the grace
that the Precious Blood shed by Jesus
for the redemption of our souls,
be not shed for us in vain.
We love you, O Mary.
Embrace us and bless us, O Mother.
Protect us in life and in death.
Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
