Novena to Holy Face of our Lord Jesus Christ ~ Day 9 ~

"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 9 

(Consoling our Lord's Holy Face and the Daily Preparatory Prayer)
Psalm 51 : 18 - 21

For in sacrifice Thou take no delight,
burnt offering from me Thou would refuse,
my sacrifice a contrite spirit.
A humbled, contrite heart Thou will not spurn.
In Thy goodness, show favor to Zion;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem
Then Thou will be pleased with lawful sacrifice,
holocausts offered on Thy altar.

Sacred Face of our Lord and our God,
what words can we do to express our gratitude?
How can we speak of our joy? That Thou have deigned to hear us,
that Thou have chosen to answer us in our hour of need.
We say this because we know that our prayers will be granted.
We know that Thou, in Thy loving kindness, listen to our pleading hearts,
and will give, out of Thy fullness, the answer to our problems.

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

Day 9 - Prayer to the most Holy Trinity

Most Holy Trinity,
Godhead indivisible, Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
our first beginning and our last end.
Since Thou have made us after Thine own image and likeness,
grant that all the thoughts of our minds, all the words of our tongues,
all the affections of our hearts and all our actions
may be always conformed to Thy most Holy Will,
so that after having seen Thee here on earth
in appearances and in a dark manner by the means of faith,
we may come at last to contemplate Thee ,
in the perfect possession of Thee forever in paradise. Amen.

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


O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every adoration Thine. Amen
