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 soul and body.
5 - They will have a peaceful death under the gaze of my Divine Son.

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.
