Carr, Pro Epo Liverpolitano PRAYERS OF REPARATION TO THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS O
Blessed Face of my kind Savior, by the tender
love and piercing sorrow of Our Lady as she beheld Thee in Thy cruel
Passion,
grant us to share in this intense sorrow and love so as to fulfill the
Holy Will of God to the utmost of our ability. Amen. -----Mother Maria-Pierina DEAR LORD, I am grieved when I consider Thy sad condition when Thou wore the Crown of Thorns upon Thy hold Head. I desire to withdraw the thorns by offering to the Eternal Father the merits of Thy Wounds for the salvation of sinners. I wish to unite my actions to the merits of Thy Most Holy Crown, so that they may gain many merits, as Thou hast promised. Amen.-----Prayer based on a revelation by Our Lord to Sr. Chambon OFFERING OF THE HOLY FACE TO APPEASE GOD'S JUSTICE AND DRAW DOWN MERCY UPON US ETERNAL
Father, turn away Thine angry
gaze from all guilty people whose faces have become unsightly in Thy
eyes.
Look instead upon the face of Thy Beloved Son, for this is the Face of
Him in Whom Thou art well pleased. We now offer Thee this Holy face,
covered
with shame and disfigured by bloody bruises, in reparation for the
crimes
of our age, in order to appease Thee anger, justly provoked against us.
Because Thy Divine Son, our Redeemer, has taken upon His head all the
sins of His people that they might be spared, we now beg of tTee,
Eternal
Father, to grant us mercy. Amen. -----Archconfraternity
