!!!!
The Novena to the Holy Face begins this coming Monday (February 1st). Here is a beautiful excerpt from the prayer of Pope Francis for the Jubilee Year of Mercy which is a wonderful meditation on the Holy Face of Christ!
…
“Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal; and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: ‘If you knew the gift of God!’”
It’s not too late to send us your prayer requests.

O my Jesus!Cast upon us a look of mercy.
Turn Thy Face towards each of us
as Thou didst to Veronica [and Peter].
Not that we may see It with our bodily eyes,
for this we do not deserve
But turn It towards our hearts,
so that remembering Thee,
we may ever draw from this
fountain of strength the vigor necessary
to sustain the combats of life.
Amen.
(Composed by Pope Blessed Pius IX)
