Rosary of the Holy Face: God's immense promises to his devotees
As a continuum of this evangelization, we again invite all Christians to renew our faith by praying the rosary daily. God's promises are countless in the various thirds he offers us with his Mother Mary.
Have you prayed the rosary of the Holy Face?
Do you know what God's immense and admirable promises are to those who pray it? After you read Jesus' promises to devotion to his Sacred Face, offering incalculable treasures, you will not be able to fail to contemplate her and be thankful to Him!
1 - PROMISES OF JESUS TO THE DEVOTEES OF HIS SACRED FACE:
1 - "By My Holy Face you will attain the salvation of many souls! I asked, nothing will be denied! Every time I contemplate My Face, I will pour Out My love into my hearts." (promise dictated to Pierina Gilli)
2 - "None of him who honors My Face shall be separated from Me. (promise dictated to Saint Matilde).
3 - "The devotees of the Holy Face shall receive, by contemplation of My human nature, a living splendor of My Divinity and will be enlightened in the depths of their souls." (promise dictated to Saint Gertrude)
4 - "Just as you seek to repair My face disfigured by sins, so I will take care of your soul, making it as beautiful as it was when coming out of the baptismal fountains."
5 - "This Face is like a seal of Divinity, for it has the power to impress on souls, which are dedicated to her, such perfect contrition, that even their sins will be transformed before Me into precious jewels."
6 - "Venerating My Holy Face, in a spirit of atonement, will be as grateful to Me as Saint Veronica. They will make a generosity just like hers and I will record My divine traits in their souls."
7 - "Offering My Holy Face to My Father will appease My divine wrath and obtain the conversion of sinners, as if it were a heavenly coin. They will perform miracles for My Holy Face. I will enlighten you with My light, surround you with My Love, and make you persevering in good."
8 - "I will be the defender, before My Father, of all those who by words, writings, or prayers defend My cause in this Work of reparation. At the hour of death I will cleanse the face of their souls from all stains of sin and return to them their original beauty." (The Ser maria de St. Peter, Carmelite of Tours, France).
9 - "I will assure my devotees of my Holy Face, such perfect contrition that their sins will be transformed before me into jewels of precious gold. None of them will be removed from Me. In offering My Face to the Father, they will have calmed His anger and they will acquire as with heavenly currency forgiveness for their sins. I will open My mouth to ask the FATHER to ensure all the prayers that they present to Me"
10 - "I will enlighten them with My light, and I will consume them with My love. I will give you fruit of good deeds. They will, like the pious Veronica, wipe away My lovely face outraged by sin, and I will impress My Divine Physiognomy on their souls. In their deaths, I will renew in them the image of God, erased by sin. Similar to My Face, they will shine brighter than many others in eternal life and the brightness of My Face will fill them with pleasure."

2 - VEIL OF VERONICA AND THE HOLY SHROUD
The pains and floggings on Jesus' face during the ordeal and crucifixion are stamped on the Veil of Veronica (cloth on which Saint Veronica placed on the face of Jesus Christ during his ordeal to wipe the blood of His Face) and the Holy Shroud (mantle that covered Jesus' body in the tomb). The two cloths overlap perfectly and show the evolution of Christ's suffering from calvary to crucifixion. But it was the devotion of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face that spread this holy prayer immensely.
3 - THE ROSARY OF THE SACRED FACE
This rosary takes between 5 minutes and 10 minutes (provided reflecting every word and phrase, of course!) . We all have this time daily, somehow. It is a minimum time, but of deep worship, which will bear immeasurable fruit already here on earth and in the Kingdom of Heaven! Are you sure you're going to stop saying it and putting aside God's great promises to you?! PRAY!!!
How to pray the Rosary of the Holy Face:
Start by reciting the Offering: O Holy Face lovely of the Divine Redeemer, Mirror of suffering, holy emblem of pain. By the atrocious torments suffered on your Cross, accept the tortures, to comfort you, Jesus.
On the Crucifix: Prayer of the Creed
In the first three Accounts: "Holy Face of the Lord, ignite your Love"
Then, in each mystery, pray in the following sequence:
At the beginning of the mystery, in every great account: "For all that you have suffered for our salvation, put an end to our sorrow! Relief to our affliction!"
In the small accounts: "Holy Face of the Lord, relieve our pain!"
At the end of each mystery: "Face of Jesus, soften our Cross!"
Once the mysteries are over, recite the Consecration: O Good Jesus, who you want to save the world today with that infinite love with which he was created and redeemed, also include me in the number of those who want to work for the triumph of Your Kingdom of love on earth. Receive for this purpose the total delivery of my whole being. It's on me. I want to spread the image of Your Divine Face, so that in all souls your image may be renewsed. Jesus, work miracles of conversion! Call apostles of this new age, who in turn take charge of this new mission. May waves of your merciful love spread over the whole world, and sink and destroy evil, rebirth the earth, and make men, as they feel their hearts taken with charity, to return to live the Holy Gospel in the light of this Sun which is your Face.
