Dear Friend,



Welcome to Day 5 of the Nine Day Novena. We continue to honor the Holy Face of Jesus as a way to lean in and prepare for the forthcoming sacred time of Lent. If you would like to visit previous days, please click 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: 



“Those who by words, prayers or writings defend My cause in the Work of Reparation, especially My priests, I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom.”



Day Five 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 51,10-11.

Make me hear rejoicing and gladness,

that the bones you have crushed may revive.

From my sins turn away your Face,

and blot out all my guilt.

Holy Face of Jesus, Sacred Countenance of God, how

great is your patience with humankind, how infinite your

forgiveness. We are sinners, yet you love us. This gives us

courage. For the glory of your Holy Face and of the Blessed

Trinity, hear and answer us. 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 (state your intentions) Pardon

and mercy.



Prayer to Saint Joseph

Dear Saint Joseph! Adopt us as thy children, take charge

of our salvation; watch over us day and night; preserve us

from occasions of sin; obtain for us purity of body and soul,

and the spirit of prayer, through thy intercession with Jesus,

grant us a spirit of sacrifice, of humility and self-denial;

obtain for us a burning love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

and a sweet, tender love for Mary, our Mother.

Saint Joseph, be with us in life, be with us in death and

obtain for us a favorable judgment from Jesus, our merciful

Savior. Amen.

Pray one (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,
