Holy Face of Jesus Devotion
"Every time My Face is contemplated I will pour out My Love into the hearts of those persons, and by means of My Holy Face the salvation of many souls will be obtained." (Our Lord Jesus Christ to Sister Pierina)
Our Lord, in visions to Sister Marie of Saint Peter, requested that a devotion to His Holy Face be established. He gave her the Golden Arrow prayer as a remedy to the "poisoned arrows" of blasphemy. Later, Sister Pierina, was urged to spread the devotion, and to have a medal cast.

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
O Victorious Prince, most humble guardian of the Church
of God and of faithful souls, who with such charity and zeal
took part in so many conflicts and gained such great victories
over the enemy, for the conservation and protection of the
honour and glory we all owe to God, as well as for the promo-
tion of our salvation; come, we pray Thee, to our assistance.
for we are continually besieged with such great perils by our
enemies, the flesh, the world and the devil, and as Thou
wast a leader for the people of God through the desert, so
also be our faithful leader, and companion through the desert
of this world, until Thou conduct us safely into the happy
land of the living, in that blessed fatherland from which we
are all exiles. Amen. (St. Aloysius)

hatred of sin, which even now outrages Thy Adorable Face!
Lord, suffer us not to be content with mere compassion, but
give us grace so closely to follow Thee in this Calvary, so
that the approbrium destined for Thee may fall on us, 0
Jesus, that thus we may have a share, small though it may
be, in expiation of sin. Amen. Mary, our Mother, intercede

We are all Thine, and all we have is Thine. O Virgin blessed
above all things, may Thy soul be in us to magnify the Lord;
may Thy spirit be in us to rejoice in God. Place Thyself, 0
faithful Virgin, as a seal upon our hearts, that in Thee and
through Thee we may be found faithful to God. Grant, most

O glorious Saint Peter, who in return for thy lively and
generous faith, thy profound and sincere humility and thy
burning love, was honoured by Jesus Christ with singular
privileges, and in particular, with the leadership of the other
apostles and the primacy of the whole church, of which thou
was made the foundation stone, do thou obtain for us the
grace of a lively faith, that shall not fear to profess itself
openly in its entirety and in all of its manifestations, even
to the shedding of blood, if occasion should demand it, and
to the sacrifice of life itself in preference to surrender. Obtain
for us likewise a sincere loyalty to our Holy Mother the
Church. Grant that we may ever remain most closely and
sincerely united to the Holy Father, who is the heir of thy
faith and of thy authority, the one true visible head of the
Catholic Church. Grant, moreover, that we may follow, in
all humility and meekness, the Church's teaching and coun-

able here on earth to enjoy a peace that is sure and undis-
turbed, and to attain one day in heaven to everlasting happi-
ness. Amen.

template you face to face, in the perfect possession of you
forever in paradise. Amen.

"With My Wounds and My Divine Heart you can obtain everything."
"The sinner who will say: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ, etc., will obtain conversion."

"At each word that you pronounce of ;the Chaplet of Mercy I allow a drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner."
Promises of Our Lord for Those Who Practice this Devotion:
-
At each word that you pronounce of
the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a drop of My Blood to fall upon the
soul of a sinner.
-
Each time that you offer to My
Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an immense fortune.
-
Souls that will have contemplated
and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will be My crown of glory in
Heaven!
-
I will grant all that is asked of
Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds. You will obtain everything,
because it is through the merit of My Blood, which is of infinite price.
With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be obtained.
-
From My Wounds proceed fruits of
sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible becomes more beautiful, so you
must put your soul and those of your companions into My sacred Wounds; there
they will become perfected as gold in the furnace. You can always purify
yourself in My Wounds.
-
My Wounds will repair yours. My
Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who honor them will have a true
knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them, you will always find a new
love. My Wounds will cover all your sins.
-
Plunge your actions into My Wounds
and they will be of value. All your actions, even the least, soaked in My
Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit and will please My
Heart.
-
In offering My Wounds for the
conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are not converted, you will
have the same merit before God as if they were.
-
When you have some trouble,
something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds, and the pain will be
alleviated.
-
This aspiration must often be
repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of
Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and body.
-
A sinner who will say the following
prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of
our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls."
-
There will be no death for the soul
that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give true life.
-
This chaplet is a counterpoise to
My justice; it restrains My vengeance.
-
Those who pray with humility and
who meditate on My Passion, will one day participate in the glory of My
divine Wounds.
-
The more you will have contemplated
My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher will be your contemplation of
them glorious in Heaven.
-
The soul who during life has
honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has offered them to the
Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be accompanied at the moment
of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our Lord on the Cross, all
brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.
-
The invocations of the Holy Wounds
will obtain an incessant victory for the Church.

The Rosary of Liberation
The Rosary of Liberation is prayed on Rosary beads and begins with the Apostles Creed. On the place of the Our Father on the large beads, a person will say a prayer based on John 8:36 “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” such as “If Jesus makes me free, I will be free indeed” or “If Jesus makes (my friend Jane) free, (Jane) will be free indeed.”
In place of the Hail Mary, the person repeats: “Jesus, have mercy on me! Jesus, heal me! Jesus, save me! Jesus, free me!” or “Jesus, have mercy on (my friend, Jane)! Jesus, heal (Jane). Jesus, save (Jane)! Jesus, free (Jane)!”
It ends with the Hail, Holy Queen.
The authors recommend that the rosary be prayed first for oneself, “that we may be purified in the Blood of Jesus” before praying it for others. It should be said for only one intention at a time.

O Sacred Head
O Sacred Head surrounded
By crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding Head, so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
Death's pallid hue comes o'er Thee,
The glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore Thee
And tremble as they gaze.
I see Thy strength and vigor
All fading in the strife,
And death, with cruel vigor,
Bereaving Thee of life;
O agony and dying!
O love to sinners free!
Jesus, all grace supplying,
O turn Thy face on me!
In this Thy bitter Passion,
Good Shepherd, think. of me,
With Thy most sweet compassion,
Unworthy though I be;
Beneath Thy Cross abiding,
'Forever would I rest,
In Thy dear love confiding,
And wilth Thy presence blest.
~~ by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

I adore Thee, Oh Jesus most sorrowful, I praise and glorify Thee, and give thankfully to thee for this most Holy and sacred and painful wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross to be merciful to me on towards Heaven along the way of Thy Cross.(Mention Petition).

Honor this wound with thy devotion, and I will grant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through its virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, I will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their mortal sins."

Prayer to Jesus Christ Crucified
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Thy face I humbly kneel and with burning soul pray and beseech Thee to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith,, hope, and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment, the while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Thy five wounds, pondering over them within me, whilst I call to mind the words which David, Thy prophet, said of Thee, my Jesus! "They have pierced My hands and feet; they have numbered all My bones.
(Ps. xxi: 17,18)
*Plenary Indulgence after confession and Communion for saying this prayer before an image or picture of our crucified Redeemer, and praying
Prayer to Our Crucified Lord
Heavenly Father, in the Holy Name of Your Son Jesus, crucified for my sins, and in the love of the Holy Spirit, I come very humbly before You, with sorrow for my sins. I acknowledge that You suffered so much for me and for all, and that we are indebted to You forever.
Father, I appreciate very much Your sufferings for me and for the rest of humanity. I thank You for saving me through Your crushing pain, through Your many wounds, through Your tiredness and agony and through Your Precious Blood shed with so much pain and love for us; through Your difficulty to breath, through Your sweat and tears, through Your merciful patience, through every effort that You made and through Your total offering for my sins and for the sins of the whole world.
Lord, I complain sometimes when I have a little misfortune, a wound or when I am sick or tired, rejected, despised or prosecuted. But You were covered through Your entire Body with painful wounds; You were pierced with pain by the crown of thorns, You were stripped of Your Flesh by the scourging, You were insulted with terrible blasphemies, You were spat upon, You were humiliated, You were inflicted new wounds upon Your wounded shoulder by the crushing weight of the cross, You were inflicted more wounds upon Your wounds by the brutal stripping of Your garments, You were pierced painfully by the nails on the cross, You were hanged upon the cross to bleed painfully to death, You suffered asphyxiation as You found it very painful to breathe, and yet Your physical agony was only part of Your suffering compared to Your spiritual agony because You are God, and Your Holy Soul was sorrowful unto death as You surrendered Your life in exchange for our eternal life.
You saw the ingratitude of men for Your great sacrifice, and You suffered for the pride of our sins, for the aggressiveness of those whom You created with so much love, for the hatred of men who always receive all Your love if only they come to You. My Lord Jesus, I come humbly before You, everlasting fountain of healing and life, Powerful Source of our Resurrection, food for our souls, eternal refuge of Divine Light, gate to the Majesty and Glory of the Father and our only hope and salvation.
Divine Merciful Lord, I pray and beseech on behalf of all humanity for Your Mercy and compassion, for Your healing and blessings and for Your Salvation.
O Precious Treasure from Heaven, You who are hidden to the proud, fill my heart with humility and purity that I may be worthy to receive the promises of everlasting life in Your Glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Lord into Your Sacred Heart I place my heart united to all my needs and desires, I present humbly my petitions, please listen to my plea, embrace me with Your love, respond to my soul, look at me Your child who comes attracted by Your love.
Father, in Your crucified Body I reverently place my sinfulness, my sicknesses and those of the people that I pray for; since You bore our diseases and infirmities, since You endured our sufferings and paid for our sins. Please dissolve them in Your mercy; grant me these petitions in Your Holy Name. Amen.

Prayer to Our Crucified Lord
Heavenly Father, in the Holy Name of Your Son Jesus, crucified for my sins, and in the love of the Holy Spirit, I come very humbly before You, with sorrow for my sins. I acknowledge that You suffered so much for me and for all, and that we are indebted to You forever.
Father, I appreciate very much Your sufferings for me and for the rest of humanity. I thank You for saving me through Your crushing pain, through Your many wounds, through Your tiredness and agony and through Your Precious Blood shed with so much pain and love for us; through Your difficulty to breath, through Your sweat and tears, through Your merciful patience, through every effort that You made and through Your total offering for my sins and for the sins of the whole world.
Lord, I complain sometimes when I have a little misfortune, a wound or when I am sick or tired, rejected, despised or prosecuted. But You were covered through Your entire Body with painful wounds; You were pierced with pain by the crown of thorns, You were stripped of Your Flesh by the scourging, You were insulted with terrible blasphemies, You were spat upon, You were humiliated, You were inflicted new wounds upon Your wounded shoulder by the crushing weight of the cross, You were inflicted more wounds upon Your wounds by the brutal stripping of Your garments, You were pierced painfully by the nails on the cross, You were hanged upon the cross to bleed painfully to death, You suffered asphyxiation as You found it very painful to breathe, and yet Your physical agony was only part of Your suffering compared to Your spiritual agony because You are God, and Your Holy Soul was sorrowful unto death as You surrendered Your life in exchange for our eternal life.
You saw the ingratitude of men for Your great sacrifice, and You suffered for the pride of our sins, for the aggressiveness of those whom You created with so much love, for the hatred of men who always receive all Your love if only they come to You. My Lord Jesus, I come humbly before You, everlasting fountain of healing and life, Powerful Source of our Resurrection, food for our souls, eternal refuge of Divine Light, gate to the Majesty and Glory of the Father and our only hope and salvation.
Divine Merciful Lord, I pray and beseech on behalf of all humanity for Your Mercy and compassion, for Your healing and blessings and for Your Salvation.
O Precious Treasure from Heaven, You who are hidden to the proud, fill my heart with humility and purity that I may be worthy to receive the promises of everlasting life in Your Glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Lord into Your Sacred Heart I place my heart united to all my needs and desires, I present humbly my petitions, please listen to my plea, embrace me with Your love, respond to my soul, look at me Your child who comes attracted by Your love.
Father, in Your crucified Body I reverently place my sinfulness, my sicknesses and those of the people that I pray for; since You bore our diseases and infirmities, since You endured our sufferings and paid for our sins. Please dissolve them in Your mercy; grant me these petitions in Your Holy Name. Amen.
