Dear Friend,



Welcome to Day 3 of the Nine Day novena. As we continue our preparation for Lent, let us take hold of the promise that nothing will be refused to those that honor His Holy Face. If you would like to visit previous days, pleaseclick here <[link removed]>.







"I firmly wish that my face reflecting the intimate pains of my soul, the suffering and love of my heart, be more honoured! Whoever gazes upon me already consoles me." (Our Lord Jesus Christ to Sister Pierina)



One of the promises to those who honor the Holy Face of Jesus: 



“All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica.”



Day Three of the Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus



(Console Holy Face and recite Daily Preparatory Prayer)



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. 



Psalm 51,6b-7.

You are just when you pass sentence on me,

blameless when you give judgment.

You know I was born guilty,

a sinner from the moment of conception.





Prayer of Pope Pius IX

O Jesus! Cast upon us a look of mercy: turn your Face

towards each of us as you did to Veronica; not that we may

see it with our bodily eyes, for this we do not deserve, but

turn it towards our hearts, so that, remembering you, we

may ever draw from this fountain of strength the vigor necessary to sustain the combats of life. Amen. Mary, our Mother,

and Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Through the merits of your precious blood and your Holy

Face, O Jesus, grant us our petition (state your intentions) Pardon

and mercy.



Prayer of Saint Francis

All highest, glorious God, cast your light into the darkness

of our hearts, give us true faith, firm hope, perfect charity

and profound humility, so that with wisdom, courage and

perception, O Lord, we may do what is truly your holy will.

Amen.



To the Angels and Saints

We salute you, through the Holy Face and Sacred Heart

of Jesus, O all you Holy Angels and Saints of God. We

rejoice in your glory, and we give thanks to our Lord for 

all the benefits which He has showered upon you; we praise 

Him, and glorify Him, and for an increase of your joy and 

honour, we offer Him the most Holy Face and gentle Heart 

of Jesus. Pray that we may become formed according to the 

heart of God. Amen.

Pray (1) Our Father, three (3) Hail Mary's, one (1) Glory

Be.

O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every adoration Thine.

(Three times)



Your friend in Christ,
