Novena to Holy Face of our Lord Jesus Christ ~ Day 7 ~

"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 7 

(Consoling our Lord's Holy Face and the Daily Preparatory Prayer)
Psalm 51 : 14-15
Give me again the joy of Thy help,
with a spirit of fervor sustain me,
that I may teach transgressors Thy ways
and sinners may return to Thee.

Lord Jesus! After contemplating Thy features, disfigured by grief,
after meditating upon Thy passion with compunction and love,
how can our hearts fail to be inflamed with a holy hatred of sin,
which even now outrages Thy Adorable Face!
Lord, suffer us not to be content with mere compassion,
but give us grace so closely to follow Thee in this Calvary,
so that the approbrium destined for Thee may fall on us, O Jesus,
that thus we may have a share, small though it may be, in expiation of sin. Amen.

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

Day 7 - Prayer in Honor of Mary , Holy Mother of God

Hail Mary, Daughter of God the Father!
Hail Mary, Mother of God the Son!
Hail Mary, Spouse of the Holy Ghost!
Hail Mary, Temple of the Most Holy Trinity!
Hail Mary, our cause of joy ,our wealth, our mystic rose.
Queen of our hearts, our Mother, our life, our sweetness and our dearest hope!
We are all Thine, and all we have is Thine.
O Virgin blessed above all things, may Thy soul be in us to magnify the Lord;
may Thy spirit be in us to rejoice in God.
Place Thyself, O faithful Virgin, as a seal upon our hearts,
that in Thee and through Thee we may be found faithful to God.
Grant, most gracious Virgin, that we may be numbered
among those whom Thou art pleased to love, to teach and to guide,
to favor and to protect as Thy children.
Grant that with the help of Thy love, we may despise all earthly consolation
and cling to heavenly things, until through the Holy Ghost,
Thy faithful spouse, and through Thee to our Lord Jesus Christ,
Thy Son, be formed within us for the glory of the Father.
Amen.
