PROMISES
OF OUR
LORD JESUS
CHRIST
To Sr. Mary of St. Peter,
Discalced Carmelite Nun of Tours, France, in favour of those who honour
His Holy Face.
-
"By My Holy Face
you shall work miracles."
-
"By My Face you
will obtain the conversion of many sinners."
-
"Nothing that you
ask in making this offering will be refused to you."
-
"If you knew how
pleasing the sight of My Face is to My Father."
-
"As in a kingdom
you can procure all you wish for, with a coin marked with the King's
effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven you will obtain all you desire
with the precious coin of My Holy Face."
-
"Our Lord has
promised me that He will imprint His divine likeness on the souls of
those who honour His most holy Countenance."
-
"All those who
honour My Holy Face in a spirit of reparation will, by so doing,
perform the office of the pious Veronica."
-
"According to the
care you take in making reparation to My Face, disfigured by
blasphemies, so will I take care of yours, which has been disfigured
by sin. I will reprint therein My image and render it as beautiful
as it was on leaving the Baptismal font."
-
"Our Lord promised
me that all those who defend His cause in this work of reparation,
by words, by prayers, or in writing, He will defend them before His
Father; at their death He will purify their souls by effacing all
the blots of sin and will restore to them their primitive
beauty."
"THE
GOLDEN ARROW"
An Act of
Praise and Reparation
Dictated by
Our Lord to Sr. Mary of St. Peter
May
the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and
ineffable Name of God be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored and
glorified, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the
creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in
the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
PRAYER
LORD
Jesus Christ, in presenting ourselves before Thine adorable Face to ask
of Thee the graces of which we stand most in need, we beseech Thee,
above all, to grant us that interior disposition of never refusing at
any time to do what Thou requirest of us by Thy holy commandments and
divine inspirations. Amen.
O
GOOD Jesus, who hast said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you
shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you, " grant us,
0 Lord, that faith which obtains all, or supply in us what may be
deficient; grant us, by the pure effect of Thy charity, and for Thine
eternal glory, the graces which we need and which we look for from Thine
infinite mercy. Amen.
BE
MERCIFUL to us, 0 my God, and reject not our prayers, when amid our
afflictions, we call upon Thy Holy Name and seek with love and
confidence Thine adorable Face. Amen.
ALMIGHTY
and Eternal God, look upon the Face of Thy Son Jesus. We present It to
Thee with confidence, to implore Thy pardon. The All-Merciful Advocate
opens His mouth to plead our cause; hearken to His cries, behold His
tears, 0 God, and through His infinite merits hearken to Him when He
intercedes for us poor miserable sinners. Amen.
ADORABLE
Face of my Jesus, my only love, my light and my life, grant that I may
know, love and serve Thee alone, that I may live with Thee, of Thee, by
Thee and for Thee. Amen.
ETERNAL
Father, I offer Thee the adorable FACE of Thy Beloved Son for the honour
and glory of Thy Name, for the conversion of sinners and for the
salvation of the dying.
O DIVINE
Jesus, through Thy Face and Name, save us. Our hope is in the virtue of
Thy Holy Name!
"O
Jesus, through the merits of Thy Holy Face, have pity on us, and
on the whole world". (Three times.)

inestimable promises are drawn from the works of St. Gertrude, of St.
