Votive Mass of the Holy Face

 


Over the years this blog has promoted the Votive Mass of the Holy Face.  In 2008 and 2011 posts from the blog (see links below) included the prayers in English and Latin of the Votive Mass of the Holy Face which is celebrated at the Shrine of the Holy Face of Manoppello.  These prayers can be printed out by readers.  Booklets containing printed copies of these Masses can be obtained by sending an email to randlfrost@gmail.com

There is also a Mass of the Holy Face to be celebrated on Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday)To quote Fr. Mark Kirby, O.S.B. of Silverstream Priory in Ireland, 

   "Masses in honor of the Holy Face appeared as early as the fourteenth century. In 1958 Pope Pius XII approved the observance of a feast of the Holy Face of Jesus on Shrove Tuesday.   A Mass of the Holy Face of Jesus for Shrove Tuesday was approved by the Holy See in 1986."  The prayers in English for this Mass can be found at https://vultuschristi.org/index.php/2015/02/9416/
