Devotion to the Holy Face: prayer and offering

Offer of the day at the Holy Face

Holy face of my sweet Jesus, living and eternal expression of love and divine martyrdom suffered by human redemption, I adore you and I love you. I consecrate you today and always my whole being. I offer you the prayers, actions and sufferings of this day for the purest hands of the Immaculate Queen, to atone for and repair the sins of poor creatures. Make me your true apostle. May your sweet gaze always be present to me and light up with mercy at the hour of my death. So be it. Holy face of Jesus look at me with mercy.

Prayer to the Holy Face

O Jesus, who in Your cruel Passion became "the inebriation of men and the man of sorrows", I venerate Your Divine Face, on which the beauty and sweetness of the divinity shone and which has become for me like the face of a leper ... But under those disfigured features I recognize Your infinite love, and I am consumed by the desire to love you and make you love by all men. The tears that flow so abundantly from Your eyes are like precious pearls that I am fond of collecting to redeem the souls of poor sinners with their infinite value. O Jesus, your adorable Face kidnaps my heart. I implore you to impress your divine likeness on me and to inflame me with Your love so that I may come to contemplate Your glorious Face. In my present need, accept the ardent desire of my heart by granting me the grace I ask of you. So be it
