By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained. ~ Our Lord to Sr. Mary of St. Peter

| O Lord, show us Thy Face & we shall be saved |
Martedì Grasso (Shrove Tuesday) is the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus. Revealed to Sr. Mary of St. Peter by Our Lord in the 1840s, the express purpose of the devotion was to make reparation for the many insults Jesus suffered in His Passion as well as the neglect, sacrileges and profanations of the Blessed Sacrament today. In celebration, I’m posting The Golden Arrow, an act of reparation and praise dictated by Our Lord to Sr. Mary of St. Peter. The accompanying photo (above) of the chapel with life-size replicas of the Holy Shroud of Turin and mosaic of the Holy Face was taken at Holy Face Monastery in Clifton, New Jersey. The image (Right) of the Holy Face is from St. Veronica's veil, or Sudarium, kept in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Viva Cristo Re!The Golden Arrow
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
