Submit your intentions for 9 Holy Masses in Honor of the Holy Face

Dear Friend,

Let’s prepare for the Lenten season; let’s not wait for Ash Wednesday to get ready. 

Please pray a novena with me honoring the Holy Face of Jesus and in reparation for the insults and indignities to Our Lord, Jesus Christ and the horrible crimes of these days, which are committed publicly and far too many in number, which include atheism, blasphemy and the desecration of God’s Holy Days. 

By offering to God, the adorable Countenance of the Face of Jesus, disfigured with painful bruises and covered with shame and confusion, we can beg, through the merits of His Holy Face to obtain our most pressing needs. 

The Devotion to the Holy Face was approved in 1884. The Archconfraternity of the Holy Face was established by Pope Leo XIII in 1885, in the Oratory of the Holy Face in Tours, France.

Join us on Sunday, February 12, as we begin the Novena to the Holy Face, which will end on Monday, February 20, the day before Shrove Tuesday, the Feast Day of the Holy Face, on February 21. Let us follow in the footsteps of the first adorers of the Sacred Countenance - the Blessed Mother, Saint Joseph, the shepherds, the Magi and later the Apostles and disciples. 

When you submit your intentions for the nine Holy Masses, you will be included to receive daily emails and different prayers for the novena, during the 9 days:

With so many families suffering from mental, physical, and financial stress - fear, worry and anxiety, along with suicides, there is so much confusion in the world, now is the time to gaze upon the wounded, Holy Face of Jesus. 

Convert us, O God, and show us Thy Face, and we shall be saved. Ps. 79, v.4. 

Remember that Our Lord left an image of his sacred sorrowful face – his bloodstained countenance on the veil of Veronica, so let us honor Him, unite our prayers to atone for the sins of the world and present our personal petitions to him.

PROMISES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST to those who honor His Holy Face:

   “By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained.” 

Embracing His adorable Face,
