Jesus says: "with this devotion you will be helped in the percolations of soul and body"
To a privileged soul, Mother Maria Pierini De Micheli, who died in the smell of holiness, in June 1938 while praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament, in a globe of light the Most Holy Virgin Mary presented herself, with a small scapular in her hand (the scapular was later replaced by the medal for reasons of convenience, with ecclesiastical approval): it was made up of two white flannels, joined by a cord: the image of the Holy Face of Jesus was imprinted in a flannel, with this wording around: "Illumina, Domine, vultum tuum super nos" (Lord, look at us with mercy) in the other was a host, surrounded by rays, with this inscription around it: "Mane nobiscum, Domine" (stay with us, o Lord).
The Most Holy Virgin approached the Sister and said to her:
“This scapular, or the medal that replaces it, is a pledge of love and mercy, which Jesus wants to give to the world, in these times of sensuality and hatred against God and the Church. ... Devilish networks are being stretched to tear faith from hearts. … A divine remedy is needed. And this remedy is the Holy Face of Jesus. All those who will wear a scapular like this, or a similar medal, and will be able, every Tuesday, to be able to visit the Holy Sacrament, in repair of the outrages, that received the Holy Face of mine. Son Jesus, during his passion and whom he receives every day in the Eucharistic Sacrament:
1 - They will be fortified in faith.
2 - They will be ready to defend it.
3 - They will have graces to overcome internal and external spiritual difficulties.
4 - They will be helped in the dangers of the soul and body.
5 - They will have a peaceful death under the gaze of my Divine Son.

Glory to the Father
2) Very sweet face of Jesus, who moved in the face of human misfortunes, wiped away the tears of the tribulations and healed the limbs of the grieved, looks with benignity on the miseries of my soul and the infirmities that pain me.

4) Most holy face of Jesus, worthy only of praise and love, yet covered with slaps and spits in the most bitter tragedy of our redemption, turn to me with that merciful love, with which you looked at the good thief. Give me your light so that I understand the true wisdom of humility and charity.
Glory to the Father
5) Divine face of Jesus, who with his eyes wet with blood, with his lips sprinkled with gall, with his wounded forehead, with his bleeding cheeks, from the wood of the cross you sent the most precious groan of your insatiable thirst, he keeps that blessed thirst of me and all men and welcome my prayer today for this urgent need.
Glory to the Father
