Novena to the Most Holy Face of Jesus - Day 9

Holy Mary show us Jesus, Your Son, Our Lord and God. That will be sufficient for us.

INVOCATION:

"Most holy and endearing face of our Lord JESUS, with perpetual adoration we want to offer You with this Novena a wreath of reverence and our piety. May it be pleasing to You. Inflame our hearts with Your love and sanctify our souls, that our asking will be pleasing to You. We thank You, because we know You hear our prayers. Amen.

Our Father....

Most Holy Face of Jesus Christ, our Lord, let us love You ever more!"

"We honor you dearest, precious face of our Lord JESUS. Prayerfully we wish that we would have been able to comfort You, when they gave You vinegar and bitter bile to drink. Oh, Holy Mouth, true spring of all that is pure. This disgusting drink was given by those who lacked reverence, blaspheming You, using obscene words, actions and committing many other sins. What agony and torment must this have caused You, oh Holy Pure One. Dear God, one day You will pass the final judgement on us. We implore You, that on that day in Your charitable way, You pass the verdict that allows us to be with You in Heaven.

Our Father...

Most Holy Face Jesus Christ, our Lord, let us love You more and more!"

Closing Prayer:

"Tender and merciful Holy Face of Jesus, graciously allow us to pay You homage and show our devotion. Permit us, to honor You truly and lovingly. Freeing us from all that binds us in this life - so that we, after our death - praise You in paradise for all eternity. Amen."

"This Novena is in gratitude to the Holy Face and to Padre Domenico da Cese for all his blessings that we could experience in the sanctuary of Manoppello".

"Our thanks belongs to all who helped in order for us to see the human face of our Lord and God JESUS Christ through this Novena. A special thanks to Paul Badde for pictures, Dr. D. Weisbrod and R. Udwari."
