Notes on Devotion to the Holy Face of Our Lord
Our Lord to Sister Marie de Saint Pierre
"I am looking for some "Veronicas" to wipe and honor my Divine Face, which has few adorers". He had me understand again that those who would apply themselves to this work of Reparation would perform in this the work of pious Veronica.
"Through My Holy Face, you shall work prodigies".
"My daughter, I give you My Face and My Heart, I give you My Blood, I open My Wounds for you, draw from them and pour, draw from them and pour! Buy without any money, By Blood is the price of souls. And what a sorrow for My Heart that these remedies which cost me so much be despised. Request my Father as many souls as I have shed drops of blood during my Passion".
"Every time you will offer My Face to My Father, My mouth whall ask for mercy".
Our Lord to Sister Maria Perina
At the age of 12, being in the Parish Church of St. Pietro in Sala of Milano, Italy, on Good Friday, she heard a very clear voice saying to her: "No on gives me a kiss of love on my Face, to do reparation for the kiss of Judas?"
In 1919, Sr. Maria Pierina was sent to the Mother House in Buenos Aires, and on April 12, 1920, while she was complaining to Jesus about a sorrow that she was experiencing, He presented himself to her, covered with blood and with an expression of tenderness and sorrow "that I will never forget" she wrote; He told her: "and Me, what have I done?"
Sister Maria Pierina understood, and the Holy Face of Jesus became her book of meditation, the entrance door to his Heart.
It suggests the shadow of a face... no one has retouched these Sacred stains imprinted on the shroud. Nothing can improve the picture. One can truly name this gift of Christ:
"the self-Portrait" of Our Lord, painted by Himself.

"Young men, young ladies, young and older ones, may nothing stop you, may nothing trouble you, may nothing turn you away from your vocation.
Join me at Le Fréchou, in the religious family I have wanted, and which is dear to me, because wholly surrendered to my Most Beloved Mother.
I need you to further my reign of Love, Peace and Mercy.
Be suffering and loving witnesses to my Gospel. Suffering and loving witnesses to the Apostolic Tradition of my Church. Be men and women who do reparation, because the world ridicules my Face, and because it humiliates me in my Eucharistic Presence. I need faithful friends to whom I may go and rest my Head, covered with blood and the spittle I receive. Be humble and live in my love".
