Prayer to the Holy
Face
|
Lord Jesus, Face of eternal love, in this holy place, guardian of the
veil on which you reveal yourself in the signs of affliction and let shine
through the infinite mercy of Your divine heart, grant that we may live a new
beginning on our journey of faith, charity and hope that You call us to travel
together with You. May Your gaze cover us with the light that comes from the
Father to illuminate our footsteps, to lead us to the pastures of heaven, and
to pour into our hearts the Holy Spirit, perfume of Your grace and imprint of Your
beauty. May Mary, who first looked upon Your Face and kissed it with the
tenderness of a Mother, who saw it close its eyes on the arms of the Cross,
contemplated it arisen and now
contemplates it in glory, help us to
seek, with a longing ever new, Your Face of King, crucified out of love, victorious over
evil and death, so that we might meet you in the embrace of your Church,
recognize you in Your sacraments and bear witness to You in the works and days
of our life. Amen! + Bruno Forte Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto |
