Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus ~ Day 2 ~

"I firmly wish that my face reflecting the intimate pains of my soul,
the suffering and love of my heart, be more honored!
Whoever gazes upon me already consoles me."
(Our Lord Jesus Christ to Sister Pierina)

Daily Preparatory Prayer
"All those who, attracted by my love, and venerating my countenance, shall receive, by virtue of my humanity, a brilliant and vivid impression of my divinity. This splendor shall enlighten the depths of their souls, so that in eternal glory the celestial court shall marvel at the marked likeness of their features with my divine countenance."
(Our Lord Jesus Christ to St. Gertrude)


Day 2 
(Consoling our Lord's Holy Face and the Daily Preparatory Prayer)

 Psalm 51:5-6

My offences truly I know them; My sin is always before me.
Against Thou, Thou alone, have I sinned;
What is evil in Thy sight I have done.

Most Holy Face of Jesus, we are truly sorry that we have hurt Thee
so much by constantly doing what is wrong; and for all the good works we have failed to do.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Saint Joseph, intercede for us,
help us to console the Most Holy Face of Jesus.
Pray that we may share in the tremendous love
Thou hast for one another, and for the most Holy and Blessed Trinity. Amen.
Through the merits of Thy Precious Blood and Thy Holy Face, O Jesus, grant us our petition..
O Jesus , pardon and mercy. Amen

Prayer to the Holy Ghost 

Come, Holy Ghost, Sanctifier, all powerful God of love,
Thou who didst fill the Virgin Mary with grace,
Thou who didst wonderfully transform the hearts of the Apostles.
Thou who didst endow all Thy Martyrs with a miraculous heroism,
come and sanctify us, illumine our minds, strengthen our wills,
purify our consciences, rectify our judgments, set our hearts on fire
and preserve us from the misfortune of resisting Thine inspirations.
We consecrate to Thee our understanding, our hearts and our will,
our whole being for time and for eternity.
May our understanding be always submissive to Thy heavenly inspirations
and to the teachings of Thy Holy Catholic Church, of which Thou art the infallible guide;
may our heart be ever inflamed with love of God and neighbor,
may our will be ever conformed to the Divine will,
and may our whole life be a faithful imitation of the life and virtues of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to whom with the Father and Thee be honor and glory forever. Amen.

1 Our Father, 3 Hail Mary's, 1 Glory Be. 

O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every adoration Thine. (Three times)
