Novena to the Holy Face of our Lord Jesus ~ Day 5 ~

"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 5 

(Consoling our Lord's Holy Face and the Daily Preparatory Prayer)
Psalm 51 : 10 - 11
Make me hear rejoicing and gladness,
that the bones you have crushed may revive.
From my sins turn away your Face,
and blot out all my guilt.

Holy Face of Jesus, Sacred Countenance of God,
how great is Thy patience with humankind, how infinite Thy forgiveness.
We are sinners, yet you love us. This gives us courage.
For the glory of Thy Holy Face and of the Blessed Trinity, hear and answer us. Amen

Holy Immaculate Mary, our Mother and chaste Saint Joseph, pray for us. Amen

Through the merits of Thy Precious Blood and Thy Holy Face,
O Jesus, grant us our petition...
O Jesus pardon and mercy for the merits of Thy Holy Face . Amen

Dear Saint Joseph! Adopt us as thy children,
take charge of our salvation; watch over us day and night;
preserve us from occasions of sin;
obtain for us purity of body and soul,and the spirit of prayer,
through thy intercession with Lord Jesus,
grant us a spirit of sacrifice, of humility and self-denial;
obtain for us a burning love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,
and a sweet, tender love for Holy Mary, our Mother.
Saint Joseph, be with us in life, be with us in death and
obtain for us a favorable judgment from Jesus, our merciful Savior. Amen.
