The ten graces of Jesus for those who practice this devotion
1 °. They, thanks to My humanity imprinted in them, will obtain inwardly a living reflection of My Divinity and will be radiated so intimately that, thanks to the resemblance with My Face, they will shine in eternal life more than many other souls.
2nd. I will restore to them, at the point of death, the image of God disfigured by sin.
3rd. By venerating My Face in spirit of atonement, they will be as pleasing to me as Saint Veronica, they will render me a service equal to hers and I will imprint My Divine Features in their soul.
4th. This adorable Face is like the seal of Divinity, which has the power to print the image of God in the souls who turn to It.
5th. The more they care to restore My Face disfigured by insults and impiety, the more I will take care of their disfigured by sin. I will imprint you again in My image and make this soul as beautiful as at the moment of Baptism.
6th. By offering My Face to the Eternal Father. They will appease the Divine anger and obtain the conversion of sinners (as with a large coin)
7th. Nothing will be refused to them when they offer My Holy Face.
8th. I will speak to My Father of all their wishes.
9th. They will work wonders through My Holy Face. I will enlighten them with My Light, surround them with My Love, and grant them perseverance for good.
10 °. I will never abandon them. I will be with My Father, the advocate of all those who with the word, the prayer or the pen, will support My cause in this work of reparation. At the point of death I will purify their soul from all the filth of sin and make them primitive beauty.
The feast of the Holy Face of Jesus is celebrated on the Tuesday preceding the day of Ashes, the beginning of Lent

Lord Jesus, crucified and risen
Lord Jesus, crucified and risen, image of the glory of the Father, Holy Face that looks at us and scrutinizes us, merciful and meek, to call us to conversion and invite us to the fullness of love, we adore you and bless you.
In your bright Face, we learn how you are loved and how you love; where there is freedom and reconciliation; how you become builders of the peace that radiates from you and leads to you.
In your glorified Face we learn to overcome every form of selfishness, to hope against all hope, to choose the works of life against the actions of death.
Give us the grace to place you at the center of our life; to remain faithful, between the risks and changes of the world, to our Christian vocation; to announce to people the power of the Cross and the Word that saves; to be alert and industrious, attentive to the younger brothers; to grasp the signs of true liberation, which began in you and will be fulfilled in you. Lord, grant your Church to stop, like the Virgin Mother, at your glorious Cross and at the crosses of all men to bring them consolation, hope and comfort.
May the Spirit that you have given us bring your work of salvation to maturity, so that all creatures, freed from the bonds of death, may contemplate in the glory of the Father your Holy Face, which shines bright forever and ever. AMEN John Paul II
Lord Jesus, thank you
Lord Jesus, thank you because you make us contemplate Your Holy Face, revelation of infinite Love, and tenderness of God for us.
Grant that under Your gaze we feel reached by the Forgiving Love, and we feel the barriers of loneliness, fear and effort to forgive and love melt within us.
You who look at us with eyes of mercy, attentive to our poverty and our pain, make us capable of recognizing Your Face in others, especially in the most lonely, abandoned and desperate of our brothers, and make us know how to love them with love attentive, concrete, humble and joyful, who comes from you alone.
Light Your Face upon us, O Lord, and we will be saved!
Make Your face shine among us, and give to your Church and to the world
justice and peace. Amen! Alleluia!
