Saint Veronica wiped the Holy Face of Jesus with her Veil, on His Way of the Cross. Jesus rewarded her charity, by leaving an imprint of His Holy Face, on her veil

“Lord, show us Your Holy Face and we shall be saved.”

Psalm 79:4

(The veil is kept in St. Peters Basilica, Rome.)

PRAYERS OF REPARATION
TO THEHOLY FACE OF JESUS,

as requested by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

These prayers are to be said on Sundays and the Holy Days of Obligation,

publicly (if possible), and preferably before the Blessed Sacrament or before the picture of the Holy Face.

    “Dear Lord, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I (we) offer You these prayers in reparation for the sins which offend God the most in these modern times–the sins of BLASPHEMY and the PROFANATION OF SUNDAY and Your Holy Days of Obligation.”

[Pray One Our Father, One Hail Mary, and One Glory Be to the Father]

THE “GOLDEN ARROW” PRAYER
dictated by Our Lord to Sister Mary of St. Peter

“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.”

After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this “Golden Arrow“, as torrents of graces streamed from It far the conversion of sinners.
