LA VALEROSA Y VALIENTE VERONICA SECA EL ROSTRO DE JUSUCRISTO TU ROSTRO BUSCO SEÑOR… Isaías (52: 14) Así como se asombraron de El muchos pues tan desfigurado tenia el aspecto que no parecía hombre. Yo soy Verónica. Yo seguí a Cristo. En un momento, pude quitar el sudor, el polvo y la sangre de su rostro. En ese instante, vi a Jesús cara a cara. Un día, tú estarás cara a cara con Cristo.el día del gran viaje, el día de nuestra muerte… Ojalá ese día nos presentemos ante el Señor Jesús, no con las manos vacías, sino con las Manos llenas de obras de Misericordia, Ojalà que en ese día, podamos responder a las preguntas que Jesucristo nos hará ¿Me diste de comer cuando tuve hambre? ¿Luchaste para traer agua a mi pueblo, por que tenía mucha sed? ¿Me vestiste cuando me viste andrajoso y mal oliente, casi desnudo? ¿Me diste ropa en buen estado, o me diste la ropa que ya ibas a tirar? Cuando me viste enfermo y te dabas cuenta que no tenia medicinas. ¿hiciste un banco de medicinas para apoyar mi alivio? ¿Me apoyaste cuando, por necesidad económica tuve que salir de mi pueblo y migrar hacia el extranjero? Algunos no hemos realizado estas obras. Es necesario comenzar hoy. EL ROSTRO DE CRISTO SANGRANTE ESTA EN TODOS NUESTROS HERMANOS NECESITADOS. SEÑOR ENSEÑANOS A VER TU ROSTRO EN NUESTROS HERMANOS, PARA QUE APRENDAMOS A SER SOLIDARIOS CON ELLOS Señor Dios que quisiste compartir nuestra humanidad, concedemos enjugarnos mutuamente el rostro, en el camino de cada día. Por Cristo nuestro Señor Amen. Peque Señor, ten misericordia de mi. Pecamos señor, ten misericordia de nosotros.

HISTORIA DE LA VERONICA Tito es un rey que manda en Aquitania, en la ciudad de Libia, llamada Burgidalla. Tenía Cáncer en la fosa nasal derecha y su rostro estaba deshecho hasta el ojo. Un Judío llamado Nathan, hijo de Naum, es enviado al emperador Tiberio como portador de un Tratado. Tiberio también esta lleno de enfermedades, fiebres, ulceras, y con varios géneros de Lepra. La embarcación de Nathan es empujada por el viento a la ciudad de Tito. Nathan es llamado ante Tito Y cuenta su Historia. Tito pregunta si conoce alguien que pueda curarlo. Nathan responde: “Si hubieras vivido en Jerusalen Habrías encontrado a un profeta, llamado Emmanuel, que curaba al pueblo” Tito exclama”Malhaya tú, Tiberio, pues escándalo tal pasó bajo tu reinado. Yo mataria a esos Judios con mis propias manos, pues han destruido a mi Señor”. Al decir estas palabras la llaga del rostro desaparece, y cuantos enfermos están presentes quedan curados. Tito se hace bautizar y confiesa su fe en Cristo. Envía entonces mensajeros a Vespasiano, pidiéndole que venga a toda prisa con soldados. Vespasiano llega con 5000 hombres armados; pregunta ¿Por qué me has hecho venir ? Tito contesta “Para destruir a los enemigos de Jesús” Embarcan para Jerusalén. Arquelao, turbado, da su reino a su hijo; se clava su espada en el pecho y Muere. Su hijo se une a otros reyes y se atrinchera en Jerusalén. Tito y Vespasiano sitian la ciudad durante siete años, hasta que los habitantes comienzan a comer tierra. Finalmente, los sitiados se rinden y entregan las llaves de la ciudad a Tito y a Vespasiano. Unos son lapidados, otros crucificados, con la cabeza hacia abajo, o heridos a lanzadas o divididos en cuatro partes, o vendidos a treinta por un denario. Posteriormente empiezan a buscar la faz de Cristo y encuentran que una mujer llamada Verónica la tiene. Apresan a Pilatos y lo encargan a cuatro piquetes de soldados. Mandan emisarios a Tiberio, pidiéndole que les envié a Velosiano. Tiberio les dice “Baja a Judea y busca a uno de los discípulos de aquel que llamaban Cristo, para que me cure de mi lepra.

Velosiano llega a Jerusalén después de un año siete días y primero encuentra a José de Arimatea y Nicodemo. José narra la sepultura, su prisión y liberación por Jesús. Entonces llega la Verónica y cuenta su curación. Velosiano la interroga y ella niega tener la faz del Señor. Él la amenaza con tormentos, Verónica confiesa que tiene la Faz del señor en un lienzo y que la adora a diario. Ella la muestra , Velosiano la adora, la envuelve en una tela dorada, la guarda en una caja y se embarca para Roma. Y Verónica abandono cuanto poseía y siguió a Velosiano. Y el le dijo Mujer ¿Qué buscas, o que quieres? Y ella contesto BUSCO LA FAZ DE NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO. Que me ha iluminado no por mis merecimientos, si no por su piadosa misericordia. Devuélveme la imagen de Nuestro señor Jesucristo, por que me mata el dolor de no tenerla. Si no me la devuelves yo no te abandonaré hasta que no vea dónde la has depositado, pues quiero Miserable de mi servirla todos los días de mi vida. Por que creo que el es mi redentor, y que Vive en la eternidad. Y Velosiano ordenó que se admitiese a Verónica en el buque. Pasado un año llegan a la Ciudad de Roma. Tiberio llama a Velosiano este le cuenta largamente toda la historia, incluida la destrucción de los Judíos. Entonces Tiberio le pregunta por la efigie del Señor. Al ver, la imagen la adora y su carne queda curada. Ora al Señor. Pregunta a Velosiano si ha visto alguien que haya conocido a Cristo y sepa como bautizar. Nathan llega y lo bautiza. Tiberio bendice a Dios y es instruido en todos los artículos de Fe.

Sor Maria Pierina De Micheli Josefina de Micheli, nació en Milán el 11 de septiembre de 1890. Creció en la caridad, en la pureza y en el sacrificio. Desde muy pequeña, alimentó el sentimiento de la reparación. A la edad de 12 años, encontrándose en la Iglesia San Pietro in Sala, Milán, el Viernes Santo oyó una voz que le dijo: "¿Ninguno me ha dado un beso de amor en el rostro, para reparar el beso de Judas?". Creyó que la voz era oída por todos y experimentó pena al ver que continuaban besando las llagas. Dentro de su corazón exclamó: "Te doy yo el beso de amor, ¡oh, Jesús, ten paciencia!", y llegado su turno le besó el Rostro. El día 16 de mayo de 1914, vistió el hábito religioso de las Hijas de la Inmaculada Concepción, tomando el nombre de Sor María Pierina. Elegida Superiora de la casa de Milán, y luego Regional de Italia, se tornó Apóstol del Divino Rostro entre sus hijas y entre aquellos que la rodeaban. El primer viernes de cuaresma de 1936, Jesús, con profunda tristeza le dijo: "Quiero que mi Rostro, el cual refleja las penas íntimas de mi interior, el dolor y el amor de mi Corazón, sea más honrado. Quien me contempla, me consuela". En mayo de 1938, mientras rezaba, se presentó sobre el altar la Santísima Virgen, llevando en sus manos un escapulario formado por dos franelas blancas. Una tenía la imagen del Divino Rostro de Jesús con la frase "Ilumina Domine Vultum Tuum super nos" y la otra, una Hostia circundada por rayos y las palabras: "Mane nobiscum Domine".

La Madre Pierina, sobrellevando muchas dificultades, logró acuñar la medalla con las indicaciones que había recibido de la Santísima Virgen. Ella le había dicho que todos aquellos que llevaran la medalla y realizaran una visita cada martes al Santísimo Sacramento para reparar los ultrajes que recibió el Divino Rostro: • serían fortificados en la fe, • superarían las dificultades internas y externas, • tendrían una muerte serena bajo la mirada de su Divino Hijo. ORACIÓN Dios Uno y Trino, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, que hiciste brillar los dones de tu gracia en el alma de la humilde Sor Maria Pierina De Micheli, y quisiste que en el silencio y en la obediencia fuera la consoladora del Divino Crucificado y la misionera de la Santa Faz de Jesús, haz que también nosotras sigamos con gozo el camino de la caridad, para gloria tuya y bien del prójimo. Por los méritos de tu sierva, concédenos la gracia que te pedimos, a fin de que por su eficaz intercesión, se manifiesten para nuestro ejemplo y consuelo, las heroicas virtudes que ella praticó generosamente en este vida y podamos venerarla un día sobre los altares. Así sea. DEVOTION TO THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS This ancient and venerable Catholic practice is rooted in the representation of the face of Christ said to have been left on the towel or veil used by a holy woman thought to be named, Veronica. An Archconfraternity of the Holy Face was established in Tours, France, 1884; its members make reparation for the blasphemies hurled at Christ. Since St. Therese's devotion to the Holy Face has become known, this devotion has spread worldwide. In addition, a devout and pious nun, Sr. Pierina, who died in 1945, was given many visions through Our Blessed Lady who appeared to her, as did Our Lord Jesus. They urged her to make reparation for the many insults Jesus suffered in His Passion, such as to be slapped, spit upon and kissed by Judas, as well as now being dishonored in many ways in the Blessed Sacrament by neglect, sacrileges, and profanations. She was given a medal which on one side bore a replica of the Holy Shroud and the inscription: "Illumina, Domine, vultum tuum super nos." [O Lord, the light of Thy countenance shine upon us.] On the reverse side was a radiant host with the words: "Mane nobiscum, Domine." [Stay with us, O Lord.] After great difficulties, Sr. Pierina obtained permission to have the medal cast. Even the expenses for the casting were miraculously met when she found on her desk an envelope with the exact amount of the bill-----11,200 lire.

The Evil Spirit showed his chagrin and rage at the medals by flinging them down and burning the pictures of the Sacred Face, and beating the nun savagely. In 1940, when the Second World War had the world in turmoil, Italy saw a wide distribution of the medal: soldiers, sailors and pilots were provided with the replica of the Holy Face since the medal was already famous for its miracles and countless spiritual and temporal favors. In Our Blessed Mother's own word, the medal is a weapon for defense, a shield for courage, a token of love and mercy and which her Divine Son wished to give the world in these troubled days of lust and hatred for God and His Church. Devilish snares have been set to rob the hearts of men of their faith while evil spreads the world over. Genuine apostles are few. A Divine remedy to all these evils will be the Adorable Face of her Son, Jesus. Whoever wears this medal and, if possible, pays a visit to the Blessed Sacrament on Tuesday in a spirit of reparation for the outrages received by the Holy Face of Our Blessed Savior during His Passion and those bestowed on Him every day in the Sacrament of His Divine Love, will be granted the gift of a strong Faith and the grace to fly to its defense, conquering if need be, all exterior and interior difficulties. Moreover, they are promised a happy death with special assistance of Christ Himself. The very first medal of the Holy Face was offered to our glorious Pontiff, Pius XII; then the whole world became acquainted with this special object of holy favors and devotion. No soldier taken as a prisoner of war, and who wore the medal was ever executed. Our Blessed Lord requested that a special feast be instituted to honor His Holy Face on Shrove Tuesday. Pope St. Pius XII obeyed and had this day set aside to honor the Holy Face in 1958. TO RECEIVE A MEDAL OF THE HOLY FACE WRITE, SENDING A SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE TO: P.O.

El Padre Pío de Pietrelcina Hijo mío: Yo fui un verdadero amante de la Santa Faz de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Los grandes devotos de la Santa Faz tienen una gloria incomparable. Están más cerca de Jesús, contemplando su Rostro Glorioso. Todos los verdaderos devotos de la Santa Faz recibirán gracias sobreabundantes para alcanzar la santidad; la cual, la lograrán siempre unidos a la Cruz del Divino Maestro; sin cruz no hay santidad. Hay que crucificarse junto a Jesús, e implorar a la Madre de Dios que ruegue incesantemente por todos. Los que extiendan la devoción a la Santa Faz serán recompensados de forma singular en la Patria celestial, y aún en la patria terrenal. Hijo mío: imita a los grandes adoradores de la Santa Faz, y sobre todo a Teresita del Niño Jesús y de la Santa Faz, la que más amó a la Santa Faz; por eso ocupa un lugar preeminente junto a Jesús. El Arcángel San Miguel Hijos de España: Procurad tener todos la Sagrada Faz de Jesús, pues pronto iremos a señalar las casas para que sean preservadas del castigo. Ante la Sagrada Faz, el enemigo retrocede, como retrocedió en la rebelión de los ángeles. ¿Sabéis qué llevaba yo en la mano izquierda contra Satán? El Rostro Glorioso de Cristo, ante el cual cayó vencido y se precipitó al abismo. Vengo con la espada por seguir la tradición, mas yo nunca usé espada, sino el Rostro de Cristo. ¡Qué mayor espada que ésta! La espada es símbolo de poder; por eso, la Iglesia católica me la pone en la mano derecha, y para que me reconozcan vengo con ella. (Dice que llevaba la Santa Faz en la mano izquierda, porque en ella se le representa llevando el escudo). LA VIRGEN MARIA Oh hijitos míos: cuánta dicha hay en el Cielo al ver a estos grupos humillados y arrodillados, adorando el Rostro de Cristo Jesús! Bien es verdad que todas las devociones son buenas y sanas y llevan al Cielo. Pero, esta de la Santa Faz tiene un matiz especialísimo por deseo expreso de la Augusta Trinidad. Porque la faz es la representación de la dignidad del hombre, — y Cristo fue ofendido en esa misma dignidad, — por eso, Cristo tiene que ser reparado en esa mismísima dignidad que representa su Sacratísima Faz. 20 de febrero de 1.970 La Santísima Virgen No permitáis que profanen el Divino Rostro de mi Hijo: es el camino para llegar al Padre Celestial. 2 de febrero de 1.974 La Santísima Virgen María Hijitos míos: ¡Qué horror y qué pánico tiene Satán a la Divina Faz! No os lo podéis imaginar. Por eso, está garantizado aquí, dentro de estas verjas, el que Satán obre con menos poder. Y de ésto, muchos no quieren darse cuenta. Mirad y observad que, cuando oráis aquí, oráis ante el Espejo de la Divinidad, esa Faz Sacratísima que os enseña la dolorosa Pasión para vuestra salvación.

Venerable Mother Maria Pierina De Micheli "I desire that my Face, which reflects the intimate afflictions of my Soul, the sorrow and the love of my Heart, should be honoured more. One who contemplates me, consoles me. There are those perhaps who fear that the devotion and worship of my Holy Face may diminish the devotion and worship of my Heart. Tell them that, on the contrary, it will be completed and augmented. Contemplating my Face, souls will share in my sorrows and will feel the need to love and and to make reparation. Is this not perhaps the true devotion to my Heart? " Nennolina was not alone in having her heroic virtues recognized by the Church this morning. There were seven others; among them was Mother Maria Pierina Di Micheli. Born on 11 September, 1890, Giuseppina De Micheli entered the Congregation of the Daughters of the Immaculate Conception in Milan on 15 October 1913. She received the habit and the name Maria Pierina on 16 May 1914, made religious profession 23 May 1915, and left for the motherhouse of the Congregation in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1921. She returned to Italy in 1921, and died on 26 July 1945. Mother Maria Pierina was privileged, from the age of twelve, with graces of intimacy with Our Lord, who invited her to contemplate His Holy Face. On the evening of 31 May 1938, as Mother Maria Pierina was praying, a beautiful Lady presented herself to her on the altar steps, in a blaze of light. She was holding in her hand a scapular made of two pieces of white flannel held together by a cord. One piece bore the image of the Holy Face of Jesus with the inscription, "Illumina Domine Vultum Tuum super nos"; the other piece bore the image of a radiant Host with the inscription, "Mane nobiscum Domine."The Lady approached Mother Pierina and said, "Listen well and refer this to your Father Confessor. This scapular is an arm of defense, a shield of might, a token of mercy that Jesus wants to give the world in these times of sensuality and of hatred toward God and the Church. True apostles are few. A divine remedy is necessary, and this remedy is the Holy Face of Jesus. All those who will wear a scapular like this one, and who will visit, if possible, the Blessed Sacrament on Tuesdays to make reparation for the outrages that the Holy Face of my Son Jesus received during His Passion, and receives every day in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, will be strengthened in the faith, made ready to defend it, and to overcome all difficulties inward and outward. They will, moreover, have a serene death, beneath the loving gaze of my Divine Son."

Work of Reparation for the Outrages that the Holy Face of Jesus received during His Passion and which He receives each day in the Eucharist sacrament. […] We wrote about the work of Sr. Marie Pierre of the Carmelites who in 1843, received orders from Our Lord Himself to begin the Work of Reparation. His Holy Face was to be the object of this Reparation (see Sept. 2007 Newsletter). Our Lord wished the devotion to His Holy Face to be established as a weapon against Communism. However this devotion was not fully appreciated in the manner that Our Lord desired. Therefore, as a result of a lack of reparation for the sins of Blasphemy and profanation of Sundays, a planned worldwide Communist takeover was allowed by God which would eventually lead to World War I and continues to this day. However Our Lord is very patient and though He was not pleased with the progress of the devotion, He decided to choose another soul to further this work of reparation about one hundred years later. Her name in religious life was Sr. Maria Pierina De Micheli, a Daughter of the Immaculate Conception. He prepared this soul in this way. On Good Friday of 1902, when Sr. Maria Pierina was a young girl of 12 she was attending service when she heard "Will no one give Me a kiss of love on My Face to make reparation for the Kiss of Judas?" She proceeded to then kiss the crucifix on the face. This was the beginning of Sr Maria’s preparation for the work she was to be given. It is the key to this devotion as you will see in the last years of her life she is asked to make reparation for bad religious. For as the kiss of Judas initiated Christ’s Passion and Death, so the gaze of the Holy Face from the Cross consummated it--that Holy Face that Peter could not bear to look at when he swore an oath of betrayal against His Savior and yes, that same Holy Face that St. John courageously beheld beneath the Cross as he supported Our Lady in her grief. Years later, on Good Friday, 1913, during her novitiate in the Daughters of the Immaculate Conception, Our Lord repeated his request as she once again heard the voice of Jesus saying to her "Kiss Me." She immediately obeyed by kissing the statue of the crucifix but instead of the touch of plaster upon her lips, she felt the Sacred Cheek of Our Lord. In many ways, Sr. Marie Pierna’s life mirrored the life of Mother Mariana and other great saints that have special missions. Not only did it seem as if God favored her at an early age with special gifts, but she also became a religious in an order dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. As well, her life was quite ordinary in her role as novice. She, too, like Mother Mariana, took on a variety of jobs within the convent. Additionally she suffered from many strange ailments and was attacked by the devil quite regularly- so much so in fact that whenever some kind of mishap occurred such as a fall or loud crash, it was assumed right away that the devil was the cause of this accident.

In order not to frighten the other sisters, she always denied it and blamed it on her clumsiness. However, it was in fact the evil one tormenting her trying to tempt her to discouragement and despair. In 1936, Our Lord revealed His desires to Sr. Marie on the first Friday of Lent. Jesus asked Mother Marie Pierina to share His spiritual agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. "I desire that My Face, which shows My Soul’s deepest anguish, My Heart’s sorrow and love, may be more honored. Whoever contemplates Me, consoles Me." Later on in that same Lent Our Lord shares a promise with her, "Every time that anyone gazes at My Face, I will pour My Love into hearts and by means of My Holy Face, the salvation of many souls will be obtained." Then in 1937, Our Lord instructed her; "It may be that some souls fear that the devotion and cult of My Holy Face diminishes that towards My Heart. Tell them that on the contrary, it will be completed and augmented. In contemplating My Face, souls will share in all My gifts and will feel the need for love and reparation. Is that not perhaps the true devotion to My Heart?" Sr. Marie Pierina submitted all of these revelations, to her spiritual director. In May, 1938, Our Lord appeared with His bloodstained Face and repeated his offering of sanctifying and saving souls through the offering of His Holy Face but He adds that when this offering is made "through My priests, miracles will be worked." He asks for souls who will "sacrifice themselves with Me for the salvation of the world." She left it in her Superiors hands to get the necessary permission to begin this work of reparation. Later that month on the Queenship of Mary, May 31, Our Lady appeared to her in a dazzling light. She held two pieces of white flannel joined by a cord. It was a scapular on which held the Image of the Holy Face having the words around it "Ilumina, Domine Vultum Tuum Super Nos" and then on the other, an image of the Sacred Host with rays of light shining out from It and the words around it saying "Mane nobiscum, Domine" Our Lady said, "…This scapular is a weapon of defense, a shield of strength, a pledge of love and mercy which Jesus wishes to give to the world IN THESE TIMES OF SENSUALITY AND HATRED AGAINST GOD AND THE CHURCH. DIABOLIC SNARES ARE BEING LAID TO TEAR THE FAITH FROM MEN’S HEARTS AND EVIL SPREADS. True Apostles are few, a Divine Remedy is necessary and this remedy is the Holy Face of Jesus. All those who shall wear a scapular like this and will make , if possible, a visit to the Blessed Sacrament every Tuesday, in reparation for the outrages that the Holy Face of My Son, Jesus, received during His Passion and which He receives each day in the Eucharistic sacrament, will be fortified in the Faith, made able to defend it and in the end will have a happy death under the loving gaze of My Divine Son." Some time later, Sr. Pierina was bothered as she had medals cast for distribution and she worried that she should have had scapulars made instead, Our Lady explained to her that either the medal or the scapular could be used. It did not matter which one, as both were equally pleasing to God. Meanwhile, in daily life, the devil, seeing what tremendous merit this soul was accomplishing for the future of the Church and the Faithful, tormented her unceasingly. Poor Sr. Pierina could not manage to have a picture of either the Sacred Heart or the Holy Face venerated in her room for this evil being would waste no time in burning it or ripping it to shreds. As well, when the medals were finally delivered for distribution, he flung them out of her hands and they all went flying across the room. Such was the furious wrath of Satan towards the missionary of this devotion. But Sr. Pierina accepted all even going so far as to offer herself as a victim soul. She wrote to her Spiritual Director on November, 16th, 1938, these words, " Then this idea came to me. If I were to ask Jesus to deprive me of all spiritual comfort for the rest of my life, to live in fact as one lives in certain terrible moments, knowing by faith alone that God is good, in order that Jesus might triumph in hearts?"

She was asking to be allowed to bear the trials of those in the state of despair even to experience the hopelessness of the damned in order to save souls from such horrendous fate. As Sr. Pierina grew older, her mysterious sicknesses and injuries became more frequent. She continued to try to disguise her illnesses but at times a puzzling paralysis would takeover. Other times people would see marks on her body of bruises or scratches as the devil took advantage of the nighttime hours to attack her physically. World War II brought more suffering upon Sr. Pierina both physically and spiritually. Despite all of this, she managed to work to spread this devotion. Throughout the war, medals were distributed across Europe. Many lives were saved under its protection. In 1941, Our Lord asked Sister if she would be willing to join Him in the agony of His Soul in Gethesmane for the sins "of those most dear to Me and especially for the rebuffs I receive from the souls of many religious." Our Lord asked her in particular to make reparation for the sin of pride in religious souls. These last years were spent in doing just that. The "Kiss" that was to make reparation for the kiss of Judas now takes on new meaning for her. For as Judas was a priest and a bishop of Christ, Our Lord, in His request, was asking Sr. Pierina to make reparation for all of the "Judases" of the world that were offending Him-most particularly religious "Judases." For you see, those apostles who betrayed Our Savior on Holy Thursday ran from the Holy Face. There was only one Apostle who did not run from it— St . John. Through that gallant act in which he stayed and comforted Our Lady as they watched Jesus to have callers in the end of the law of a way to go the end of the one throughout His Passion, St. John was given something none of the other apostles dared to receive which was an active participation in His Passion. This active participation merited for him a fortification in His Faith and made him able to defend it as He stood beside Our Blessed Mother. In that gaze from the cross, Christ gave His Mother to us via St. John. This was one of the greatest gifts He could have given us short of a promise of Heaven. In conclusion, all that Our Lord asked of Sr. Pierina, she did wholeheartedly until the end of her days. Her last words being, "I will see all of you again in Heaven." As she gazed at the Image of the Holy Face, she died in the odor of sanctity on July 26th, 1945. Let us have hope that she was not just talking to her dear fellow sisters, but all who have devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. In that last love-filled look to Our Lord, she was showing us the way to Heaven. As we began this article with a mention of the Carmelite missionary, Sr. Marie Pierre of Tours, France, and her mission which was the Work of Reparation and the spread of the devotion to the Holy Face as being a weapon against Communism, we remind you that Communism is far from being dead. The enemy does not sleep. Here is a recent quote from one Communist website called www.redsun.org, "…we are unfolding within the new era, initiated with the October Revolution in 1917, in the past century, which is grand and glorious, a great milestone. You may be disturbed by the fact that restoration has taken place in the USSR and in China, but this implies not seeing the struggle between restoration and counter-restoration…Communism will not be in one country; it will be in the entire world, or it will not be at all….We are inexorably marching toward it. Nobody take us off this course." These words filled with an ardent zeal for the spread of Communism are a reminder of what awaits us if we do not fight. We dare to say that we MUST take them off this course! With the Holy Face in one hand as our shield and Our Lady’s rosary in the other as our weapon, we must march toward this final battle in which Our Lady will be triumphant and crush the serpent’s head! For in this mystery of the Holy Face is the core theme—Reparation.

A reparation for those who are attacking the Catholic Church from without AND within! This is a battle to the death.- the death of Communism, the death of Masonry once and for all! Remember with the devotion of Our Lady of Good Success –she promises "good success" in all of our endeavors- we cannot fail! ( All facts taken from "The Story of Sister Maria De Micheli by Sr. Maria Ildefonsa Rigamonti) We will leave you with this excerpt from a lecture given my Father Mateo Crawley-Bouvey-SS SC, Apostle of the Sacred Heart : Are you really zealous? Are you really apostles of the Holy Face of Jesus? You must be the ones to set fire to other hearts. How many Catholics there are who have not grasped the duty of being apostles, the duty of gratitude! It is our positive duty - our obligation to bring others to Jesus, to give Him not only our souls, but the souls of others. Be grateful and generous in giving of the treasure of Holy Face of Jesus, which Our Lord has entrusted to your care, lavishing this treasure on souls, on poor starving souls. It is sad that so few truly love Jesus.

The Holy Face medal Sister Maria Pierina De Micheli Over 90 years after the first reported visions of Jesus by Sister Marie of St Peter in Tours France, other Holy Face visions were reported in Italy. Sister Maria Pierina De Micheli (1900 - †1945 was a Roman Catholic nun who was born near Milan Italy. Sister Marie of St Peter (1816 - †1848 was a Carmelite nun who lived in Tours, France. Tours is a city in France the Préfecture (capital city of the Indre-et-Loire département, on the lower reaches of the river On the first Friday in Lent 1936, Sister Maria Pierina De Micheli, who was born near Milan Italy, reported a vision in which Jesus told her: “I will that My Face, which reflects the intimate pains of My Spirit, the suffering and the love of My Heart, be more honored. Sister Maria Pierina De Micheli (1900 - †1945 was a Roman Catholic nun who was born near Milan Italy. Milan (Milano Milan (listen) is one of the largest cities in Italy, located in the plains of Lombardy. He who meditates upon Me, consoles Me”. Further reported visions of Jesus and Mary urged Sister Maria Pierina to make a medal with the Holy Face of Jesus. Since the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ in Calvary until today a number of people have claimed to have had visions (and indeed personal conversations with Him and This became known as the Holy Face Medal. On one side the medal bears a replica of the Holy Shroud of Turin and an inscription based on Psalm 66:2: "Illumina, Domine, vultum tuum super nos", i. The Shroud of Turin (or Turin Shroud) is a Linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have been physically traumatized in a manner consistent e. "May, O Lord, the light of Thy countenance shine upon us". On the other side of the medal, there is an image of a radiant Sacred Host, the monogram of the Holy Name ("IHS"), and the inscription "Mane nobiscum, Domine" i. e. "Stay with us, O Lord". In another vision, Sister Maria Pierina reported that Jesus told her: “Every time my Face is contemplated I will pour out my love into the heart of those persons, and by means of my Holy Face the salvation of many souls will be obtained”. She further reported that Jesus wanted a special Feast on the day before Ash Wednesday in honor of His Holy Face, to be preceded by a Novena (9 days) of prayers.

Novena is the feminine form of the Medieval Latin word [email protected] www.movimentodamoresanjuandiego.it www.conchiglia.net 22 Movimento d'Amore San Juan Diego MONOS-Único - Investigaciones Científicas y Humanísticas María Santísima, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Transposición de la Tilma sobre el Planisferio de Brown que asume la forma de una concha de mar. Decades earlier, Sister Marie of St Peter had referred to a Holy Face Coin, writing that Jesus told her: "As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face. Sister Marie of St Peter (1816 - †1848 was a Carmelite nun who lived in Tours, France. "[2] After some effort Sister Maria Pierina managed to obtain permission to cast the medal and its use started to grow in Italy. Sister Maria Pierina De Micheli (1900 - †1945 was a Roman Catholic nun who was born near Milan Italy. As the second world war started, many soldiers and sailors were given a Holy Face Medal as a means of protection. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Sister Maria Pierina herself died in 1945 at the end of the war. Vatican approval The first medal of the Holy Face was offered to Pope Pius XII who approved the devotion and the medal. In 1958, he formally declared the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus as Shrove Tuesday (the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday) for all Roman Catholics. On the occasion of the 100th year of Secondo Pia's (May 28th 1898) first photograph of the Shroud of Turin, on Sunday May 24th 1998 Pope John Paul II visited the Turin Cathedral. Secondo Pia (1855&ndash1941 was an Italian Lawyer and amateur Photographer. The Shroud of Turin (or Turin Shroud) is a Linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have been physically traumatized in a manner consistent Pope In his address on that day, he said: "the Shroud is an image of God's love as well as of human sin" "it is an icon of the suffering of the innocent in every age. "[3] The Holy Face devotion and the Holy Face Medal have now spread among Roman Catholics worldwide, with organizations such as the Holy Face Association.

SOR MARIA DE SAN PEDRO "Rejoice, My Daughter; because the hour approaches when the beautiful work under the sun will be born." most ------- Our Lord To Sister Mary of St. Peter [Our Lord refers here to the work of reparation to the Holy Face, which He revealed is destined to be the means of defeating atheistic Communism and restoring peace to the world.] In Tours, France during the 1840's a young Carmelite nun received a series of revelations from Our Lord about a powerful devotion He wished to be established worldwide-----he devotion to His Holy Face. The express purpose of this devotion was to make reparation for the blasphemies and outrages of "Revolutionary men" [the Communists]----through whom God is allowing the world to be chastised for its unbelief-----as well as for the blasphemies of atheists and freethinkers and others, plus, for blasphemy and the profanation of Sundays by Christians. Specifically, this devotion is the Divine tool given by God to defeat Communism, but it is also an instrument given to the individual devotee as a seemingly unfailing method of appealing to God in prayer-----through adoration of His Holy Face and Name. Our Lord gave Sister Mary a short but powerful prayer called' 'The Golden Arrow," by which a person can "shoot directly into the Heart of God" to heal the wounds inflicted on it by the malice of sinners. Of the 9 promises connected with this devotion, the first three are 1) "By My Holy Face you will work miracles;" 2) "By My Face you will obtain the conversion of many sinners;" and 3) "Nothing you ask in making this offering will be refused to you."

This devotion brought St. Therese to her great sanctity. Anyone who is searching for a spiritual method for fighting atheism, socialism, materialism and paganism and its programs and/or who is searching for a virtually infallible method of prayer will be delighted with The Golden Arrow devotions. "Just as in an earthly kingdom money which is stamped with the picture of the sovereign or ruling executive of the country procures whatever one desires to purchase, so likewise in the Kingdom of Heaven, you shall obtain all that you desire by offering the coin of My precious Humanity which is My adorable Face." ------ Our Lord To Sr. Mary of St. Peter THE "GOLDEN ARROW" PRAYER 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 for the conversion of sinners. The aim of this little presentation is to revive devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus as a means of Reparation to God for the crimes committed against His Divine Majesty. The question may be asked, was not this Devotion of Reparation universally practiced in the Church some years ago? The answer is, yes, it was widespread for many years after the Brief of Pope Leo XIII canonically established the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face in 1885. Unfortunately, however, it was neglected and forgotten in the years immediately prior to the First World War in 1914. Was it not perhaps due to our failure to continue this Reparation, as demanded by Our Divine Lord in His revelations to the holy Carmelite of Tours, that God allowed the "malice of wicked men" to precipitate us into two world conflicts, with all their indescribable horrors? And now, when we live daily on the verge of a Third World War, which threatens total destruction because of atomic weapons presently in the hands of our enemies, shall we at last embrace this reparation demanded by Our Lord?

The "revolutionary men," designated by Our Lord Himself as Communists [a state of political mind and intent apart from a specific organization: "Communism is not dead" as has bee stated by the pundits among us, but is being revived in the new anti-God one world, one religion (pagan movement)], have so engulfed the world in turmoil that humanity faces destruction. This was the consensus of opinion from unimpeachable sources, including Pope Pius XII, who that there persists a general world condition which explode at any moment." Addressing Himself mystically to the pious Carmelite nun, Our Lord told her that especially to His priests He promises He will defend them before His Father in Heaven and give them His kingdom if they, through words, prayers or writings, defend His cause in this work of "reparation." Pastors, therefore, and priests who desire to answer this call should endeavor, through regular procedure, to establish the Confraternity of the Holy Face in their parishes. PROMISES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN FAVOR OF THOSE WHO HONOR HIS HOLY FACE 1. All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica. According to the care they take in making reparation to My Face, disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin. My Face is the seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God. 2. Those who by words, prayers or writing defend My cause in this Work of Reparation I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom. 3. By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained. 4. By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God and draw down mercy on sinners. 5. As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face. 6. Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory. 7. They will receive in their souls a bright and constant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendor in Heaven. 8. I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance.

This prayer was dictated by our Lord Himself to Sister Mary of St. Peter. Opening His Heart to her, our Savior complained of blasphemy, saying that this frightful sin wounds His Divine Heart more grievously than all other sins, for it was like "a poisoned arrow." After that, our Savior dictated the prayer, which He called "The Golden Arrow," saying that those who would recite this prayer would pierce Him delightfully, and also heal those other wounds inflicted on Him by the malice of sinners. This prayer published above and on page two of the Golden Arrow segment of the Holy Face Devotion, is regarded as the very basis of the Work of Reparation. It is recommended for recitation on each of the thirty-three beads of the Holy Face Chaplet. REVELATION OF OCTOBER 30, 1845 In this revelation our Lord imparts a most sublime instruction, showing the position of the Holy Face in relation to the Adorable Trinity Itself. REMEMBER, Oh, my soul, the holy instruction which your Divine Spouse imparted to you today concerning His adorable Face. Remember that this Divine Head represents the Eternal Father Who is unbegotten, that the mouth of this Holy Face represents the Divine Word, begotten of the Father, and that the two eyes of this adorable Face are the symbol of the reciprocal love of the Father and the Son, for these two eyes possess only one light, and one identical knowledge between them both, and they produce the one same love, which represents the Holy Ghost. Contemplate in His locks of hair the infinite number of the adorable perfections of the Blessed Trinity. Behold in this majestic Head that precious portion of the Humanity of the Savior which is the very Image of the Oneness of God. Now it is this adorable Savior's Face brimming with ineffable mysteries which blasphemers cover with disgrace, renewing the bitter sufferings of His Passion, each time they assail the Divinity, for the Holy Face is the very Image of God! In this exquisite communication, our Lord enders all His merits to Sister Mary of St. Peter, as He tells her to pay with them the debts incurred by the sins of the nation. He encourages her zeal by disclosing to her that the Work of Reparation will ultimately be established. [email protected] www.movimentodamoresanjuandiego.it www.conchiglia.net 27 Movimento d'Amore San Juan Diego MONOS-Único - Investigaciones Científicas y Humanísticas María Santísima, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Transposición de la Tilma sobre el Planisferio de Brown que asume la forma de una concha de mar. OUR LORD continues to press me urgently to suffer for our country. He said to me: "Just as I have taken on myself the sins of the whole world, so I now desire that you assume those of your nation. I Myself will suffer in you in order to appease the anger of My Father and I will give you all My merits by which you can pay the debts incurred by the sins of your country." I accepted our Lord's proposal and then it was that I beheld myself as though covered with all the sins of the nation and I begged God's forgiveness for these sins with the same shame as though I had committed these crimes myself. On another day when our Lord had insisted again that I make reparation for our whole country, I hesitated, hardly daring to believe that He could wish to make use of so common an instrument as myself for so great a task. He then said to me by way of comparison: As in the order of My Providence, in temporal affairs I give a particular ruler to a particular nation to be its sovereign, cannot I also, in the order of grace, assign a particular country to the care of a special individual in order that she should take charge of that country's spiritual welfare? That is the reason why I now assign this particular nation to your special care and I urge you to pray and to sacrifice yourself in its behalf." After that our Lord declared: I again give you My Sacred Head so that you may offer it to My Father to appease His justice. Oh, if you but knew the power and the virtue that reside therein! And the reason why My Head possesses this power and virtue is because I have taken upon My Head all the sins of mankind so that My Members may be spared. Therefore, offer My Face to My Eternal Father for this is the means by which to appease Him." He then added: "I desire this Work of Reparation. Although the fruits which you bear have not yet ripened be assured that finally the time will come when the Work shall be established. REVELATION OF NOVEMBER 22, 1846 Placing no bounds to the efficacy of the Devotion to the Holy Face, our Savior informs Sister Mary of St. Peter that the treasure of His Face is of such tremendous value that through It ALL matters can be settled! [email protected] www.movimentodamoresanjuandiego.it www.conchiglia.net 28 Movimento d'Amore San Juan Diego MONOS-Único - Investigaciones Científicas y Humanísticas María Santísima, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Transposición de la Tilma sobre el Planisferio de Brown que asume la forma de una concha de mar. HERE IS the substance of a new revelation which our Lord gave me relative to the Holy Face: "My daughter," He said, "I take you today for my stewardess. I place My Holy Face in your hands that you may offer it unceasingly to My Father for the salvation of your country. Turn this Divine gift to good profit, for the treasure of My Holy Face in itself possesses such tremendous value that through It all the affairs of My household can readily be settled. Through this Holy Face you will obtain the conversion of many sinners. Nothing that you ask in virtue of the Holy Face will be refused you. Oh, if you only knew how pleasing is the sight of My Face to My Father!" Although Sister Mary was until now apparently in fair health, following all the religious exercises prescribed by the Holy Rule, and performing all her duties as Portress Sister, she suddenly developed certain alarming symptoms, and after being examined by a physician, she was found to be mortally ill. Besides suffering from severe pulmonary tuberculosis, she also developed an ulcerated throat which fittingly symbolized her role in life, as that of a victim repairing especially for blasphemies uttered by the tongues of guilty men. For two and a half months she was unable to take any solid food whatever and subsisted only on a small quantity of liquids. Enduring her pains with resignation, and even joy, she almost constantly for the salvation of souls, while she to exchange this world for the next. Shortly before she died she was asked about the to the Holy Face, to which she answered: "I have the greatest hopes. The plans of the wicked will be foiled! It was to accomplish this that the Work of Reparation to the Holy Face was revealed. Now that this is done my career is ended for it was for this Work that God had placed me on earth, as our Lord has made known to me. Oh how true it is that God has means of satisfying His justice which are unknown known to men." Once when she was asked to apply certain of her sufferings for a special intention, she replied: "I do not know whether I am free to do so because I am entirely consecrated as a victim to the cause of the Work of Reparation." She died in the odor of sanctity on July 8, 1848, in the thirty-third year of her life, less than four months after the interview she had held with the Secretary who told her that while she was allowed to apply herself to the Work of Reparation, she was never again to ask for the establishment of the Work in the diocese.

At the time this seemed, indeed, a difficult order to fulfill for one who was by Divine Providence selected as an apostle to work for the propagation of the Cult of the Holy Face as her particular mission in life . . . After her death, Reparation through the Devotion to the Holy Face was chiefly kept up through the fervor of a wealthy retired lawyer of Tours, a devoted friend of the nun, Leo Dupont. Having procured a picture of the Holy Face, which was touched to the true relic of the veil of Veronica at the Vatican. this exemplary Christian hung it on a prominent wall of his drawing room before which he kept a lamp burning, as a token of veneration. So many extraordinary favors were granted to those who prayed before this picture that the residence of Mons. Dupont became a private place of pilgrimage. For the next thirty years, to the end of his life [he died in 1876], Leo Dupont kept the flame of Reparation alive in his home for the benefit of all who wished to intercede to God before it. Three months after his saintly death, his home was transformed into a public chapel. Soon afterwards the Work of Reparation was referred to the decision of the Supreme Pontiff, Leo XIII, who wholeheartedly approved the Devotion, through the formality of a Papal Brief. So was erected in perpetuity the Archconfraternity of Reparation in the Oratory of Leo Dupont, in 1885, where until the present day priests still carry out the mission of Sr. Mary of St. Peter, to whom our Lord revealed a hundred years ago ago the real weapon that is destined to overthrow Communism. This weapon is Devotion to the Holy Face as a means of Reparation for the outrageous crimes of blasphemy, atheism, the crimes of modern freethinkers, and the profaners of the Lord's Day, which are the evils that more than any other cry to heaven for vengeance and that today bring us face to face with the threat of nuclear war and which consequence would admittedly be the destruction of all civilization as we know it.

PROMESAS DE NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO A SOR MARIA DE SAN PEDRO, MONJA CARMELITA DESCALZA DE TOURS FRANCIA, EN FAVOR DE AQUELLOS QUE HACEN HONOR A SU SANTO Y DIVINO ROSTRO "Con el ofrecimiento de Mi Rostro a Mi Eterno Padre, nada será negado y se obtendrá la conversión de muchos pecadores." - Nuestro Señor (Nov. 1846) A sor María de San Pedro. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Upon hearing of Sister Marie of St Peter’s reported visions, he started to burn a vigil lamp continuously before a picture of the Holy Face of Jesus, but at that time he used an image based on the Veil of Veronica. Sister Marie of St Peter (1816 - †1848 was a Carmelite nun who lived in Tours, France. The Veil of Veronica, or Sudarium (Latin for sweat-cloth often called simply &quotThe Veronica" and known in Italian as the Volto Santo or Holy Face Dupont prayed for and promoted the case for a devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus for around 30 years. But the documents pertaining to the life of sister Marie of St. Peter and the devotion were kept by the Church and not released. Yet Dupont persisted. Eventually, in 1874 Charles-Théodore Colet was appointed as the new Archbishop of Tours. Charles-Théodore Colet (1806-†1883 was a French Roman Catholic Archbishop. Tours is a city in France the Préfecture (capital city of the Indre-et-Loire département, on the lower reaches of the river Archbishop Colet examined the documents and in 1876 gave permission for them to be published and the devotion encouraged, shortly before Dupont died. The Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus was approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1885. Pope Leo XIII ( March 2, 1810 – July 20, 1903) born Count Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci, was the 256th Pope Dupont was thereafter at times referred to as the Apostle of the Holy Face. Venerable Leo Dupont (1797 – †1876 also known as &quotThe Holy Man of Tours" or the &quotApostle of the Holy Face" was a religious figure in the Saint Therese of Lisieux was also a French nun who received the Carmelite habit in 1889 and later became known by the religious name "St. The Order of the Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel or Carmelites (sometimes simply Carmel by Synecdoche; Latin: Ordo fratrum Beatæ Therese of the Child Jesus of the Holy Face". She was introduced to the Holy Face devotion through her blood sister Pauline, Sister Agnes of Jesus. Saint Therese wrote many prayers to express the devotion to the Holy Face. She wrote the words “Make me resemble you, Jesus!” on a small card and attached a stamp of the Holy Face to it. She pinned the prayer in a small container over her heart since at that time the Holy Face Medal did not exist. In August 1895, in her “Canticle to the Holy Face” she wrote: “Jesus, Your ineffable image is the star which guides my steps. Ah, You know, Your sweet Face is for me Heaven on earth. My love discovers the charms of Your Face adorned with tears. I smile through my own tears when I contemplate Your sorrows”. Her poems and prayers helped spread the devotion to the Holy Face.

Venerable Leo Dupont {1797 - 1876} Feast day December 1 Leo Dupont was no ordinary man. God was first in his life. He was a man of prayer who had a wonderful devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. Leo was also a very wealthy gentleman who was generous with his money and not selfish and greedy like so many rich people are. Mme. Dupont came from a very noble and wealthy family. She married a very wealthy man named Nicholas Dupont and their marriage was blessed with two sons; Leo born in 1797, and Theobald born in 1801. But Mr. Dupont was not long for this world and he died in 1805, when his wife was only twenty two years old. Not one to despair, Mme. Dupont rolled up her sleeves and put her best foot forward. She now had to put all her efforts into raising her boys, Leo aged eight and Theobald aged four. She was a very devout Catholic and instilled into her children a great love for virtue and a strong Catholic Faith. Leo went to the village school in Martinique, a French Colony where the Duponts lived. He was a very honest and upright student. One day when his teacher Mr. Rochelle left the classroom for a short period, the boys started shouting and laughing and whistling. Mr. Rochelle heard the noise and returned asking who the rowdy boys were. Leo Dupont was the only boy who stood up and confessed to his teacher that he was the guilty one but all the other boys were to ashamed to admit that they were also to blame. When Leo finished his studies at the village school, his mother sent him to the United States. The horrible French Revolution was raging and there was too much religious persecution going on in Paris. Mme. Dupont wanted Leo to have the freedom to practice his Catholic Faith. His stay in America was short, and two years later he returned to Pontlevoy, France to continue his studies. In 1815, when Leo had finished his studies, he returned to Martinique to visit his mother. She was now married to Mr. Arnaud, a wealthy land owner. Leo was now twenty one years old. He was a real gentleman, handsome and well mannered. Mme. and Mr. Arnaud wanted to send Leo and Theobald to Paris, to continue their studies. But before leaving, Leo's mother warned him, "Leo my son, you are heir to half a million dollars and it is a grave responsibility but also a great privilege. [email protected] www.movimentodamoresanjuandiego.it www.conchiglia.net 35 Movimento d'Amore San Juan Diego MONOS-Único - Investigaciones Científicas y Humanísticas María Santísima, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Transposición de la Tilma sobre el Planisferio de Brown que asume la forma de una concha de mar. You can use your fortune well, or you can use it wrongly. Remember God gave you life and an immortal soul and He will exact from you a strict account on the day you die!" The two boys arrived in Paris and rented an apartment from a well known friend. Leo continued his studies in Law and Theobald continued his regular schooling. Because Leo was so well mannered, his friends called him, "The Marquis of Politeness." In Paris, many people were living sinful lives and without the grace of God, Leo would have been swept downstream with them. But God was watching over him and one day the young man received a very special grace. Leo had hired a boy to look after his horse. One day the boy arrived late saying that a man named Bordier had been teaching him Catechism lessons in a church basement. Leo checked out the situation and found Bordier instructing many boys. He became a good friend of Bordier and helped him to take care of the young boys. When Leo finished his Law studies, he returned to Martinique, where he was appointed to the Royal Court. He was now twenty four and continued his works of piety and charity, just as he had done in Paris. His brother Theobald died and he was greatly saddened. Soon after on May 29, 1827, Leo married a good Catholic girl named Caroline d'Andiffredi. They bought a place in St. Pierre and finally after five years they had a little baby girl and named her Henrietta. The happy couple were filled with joy but this joy did not last long. In less than one year after the birth of Henrietta, Caroline died. She had never been too strong and her death was a heavy cross for poor Leo. Before long, Leo went back to France with his mother, now a widow again, and his little girl. This time he settled in a house in Tours, on St. Etienne St. He had promised his wife that that he would send Henrietta to the school run by the Ursulines Sisters in Tours. Leo was very humble and did not care what people thought of him when he practised his Catholic Faith openly. He would serve Mass and take part in other religious events. He went to Mass and Communion almost every day. He loved to talk about the Catholic Faith and he encouraged Protestants, pagans and fallen away Catholics to believe in the Blessed Sacrament. One day in 1837, Leo gazed upon a holy picture of St. Teresa of Avila and suddenly realized that it was necessary to do penance in his life, and not waste his time riding and hunting. So as a penance, in reparation for the sacrileges committed by the Masons and Revolutionaries, Leo would often visit and pray at the broken down churches, which had been destroyed or abused. Later on he wrote a book on the various shrines of Our Lady, scattered throughout the world. This book caused many people to go on pilgrimages again, as they had done many years ago. Leo joined the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Tours, and became one of their great apostles. He gave this Society large sums of money, visited people and taught evening classes to workers and soldiers. Leo also provided amusement for his pupils and worked in a great amount of religious instruction when teaching his pupils, bringing many back to the practise of their religion. Blasphemy and using God's name in vain, was a terrible sin being committed at the time by hundreds of people and even little children.

Leo joined an association to stamp out blasphemy and handed out pamphlets that promoted this association. He even wrote a Little Office of prayers in honour of the Holy Name of God. When Our Lady appeared at La Salette in 1846, Leo became a firm believer in the apparition and went there on pilgrimage. During this journey, he stopped in to see the famous Cure of Ars. St. John Vianney was surrounded by crowds of people and had never met Leo, but as soon as he saw this holy man, he went up to him saying, "O my dear friend, how sweet it will be for us to find ourselves in Heaven, singing the praises of God!" Shortly after his pilgrimage to La Salette, Leo was given a very heavy cross. His daughter became ill with a serious disease that had broken out in the school. She was sent home and died a few days later. Leo was broken hearted at the loss of his only daughter but he was grateful to God. He had often prayed, "O God, if you see that Henrietta will stray from the right path, take her to Thyself rather than let her live." After the girl's death, Leo lived only for God. Wherever there was good to be done, Leo was there. He considered it an honour to help the poor, the sick, the prisoners, and anyone who needed help. Many times he would give away all the money he had in his wallet and he even gave away his own clothes. In February 1849, night adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was started in Tours as a result of the efforts of Leo Dupont. In less than two months Leo had rounded up seventy four men to come and adore the Blessed Sacrament at night, and many of these came to adore after putting in a hard days work. Leo also wrote to people in different places and when they decided to set up night adoration, he would go and help them out. It was Leo's personal desire to see night adoration started everywhere. He said, "When shall we see Our Lord honoured day and night in every parish through the Catholic world? I love to cherish the hope!" On one occasion, Leo had the honour of having three holy persons in his house at the same time: St. Peter Julian Eymard, Fr. Cohen, and Bishop de la Bouillerie, all great apostles of the Holy Eucharist. St. Martin's Basilica in Tours was destroyed during the French Revolution. It had been dedicated to the great St. Martin, who was once a Roman soldier. He had divided his cloak and gave one half of it to a poor beggar. That same night, Our Lord wearing half the cloak that Martin had given away, appeared to him saying, "Martin, still a catechumen, has covered Me with this garment." Right after this wonderful event he was baptized. A few years later he left the army and in time became the Bishop of Tours. Leo made great efforts to have the Basilica of St. Martin rebuilt. He started a charitable society to help clothe the poor and encouraged others to help rebuild the basilica. God blessed the work, and by the end of the 19th century, St. Martin's was completed, a jewel in Leo's heavenly crown!

Mr. Dupont also distributed thousands of St. Benedict medals, and as a sign of respect for the holy Word of God, he had a vigil light burning night and day before his Bible. He also did this as an act of reparation for all the blasphemies committed against the Word of God. One day Leo learned about the Carmelite Nun, Sr. Mary of St. Peter who had visions of Jesus. Our Lord told her to promote devotion to His Holy Face. At one time Jesus said, "Think of the outrages inflicted on me by the Society of the Communists, the enemies of the Church and of Christ. They have laid their hands upon the anointed of the Lord (priests). But their evil plans are vain and they will fail! I desire the establishment of the Work of Reparation! For it is the Work of Reparation to the Holy Face that will hold back God's justice." Always an apostle, Leo made great efforts to spread this devotion. He burned a vigil lamp continuously before a picture of the Holy Face of Jesus (Veronica's Veil), and cured many people of their diseases by having them put this blessed oil on their skin. Thousands of people made pilgrimages to his house and prayed before the picture of Veronica's Veil. Leo's mother lived with him for many years and died in 1860, when Leo was 62 years old. From 1860 to 1870, he spent all his time before the image of Veronica's Veil; in prayer, in receiving the sick who came to be cured, and in writing letters. During this time he continued to wear a hair shirt under his clothes. He scourged himself almost every day, and sanctified himself by continual prayer and penance. By 1873, Leo's health was failing. His eyesight was poor and he was unable to leave his room for three years, owing to gout and rheumatism. As his illness increased, he had to give up going to daily Mass and Communion. The Blessed Sacrament was brought to him once a week. He continued to suffer right up until his death on March 18, 1876, at the age of 79. We should all practise the virtues of Leo Dupont; his Faith, Hope, and Charity, his gentle and apostolic ways, his perseverance in good works, his love for Holy Communion and his devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. St. Pius X asked that a picture of the Holy Face of Jesus be placed in every Christian home. By this he meant that we should all have devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. Beg Venerable Leo to help you have devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus and let us all pray that one day we can say, [email protected] www.movimentodamoresanjuandiego.it www.conchiglia.net 38 Movimento d'Amore San Juan Diego MONOS-Único - Investigaciones Científicas y Humanísticas María Santísima, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Transposición de la Tilma sobre el Planisferio de Brown que asume la forma de una concha de mar. HOLY FACE OIL FROM THE LAMP OF VENERABLE LEON PAPIN DUPONT: The Holy Man of Tours ORIGIN 1849: Shortly after the death of Sister Mary of St. Peter, Pope Pius IX ordered public prayers be offered in all churches in Rome to implore God's mercy on the Papal States due to revolution occurring at the time. As part of these public prayers, a three-day exposition of the relic of Veronica's veil was held for public veneration at St. Peter's Basilica. On the third day of the showing, a miracle occurred through which Our Lord's face on the veil became very distinct and glowed with a soft light. The miracle lasted for three hours, was witnessed by crowds of people, and was attested to by an apostolic notary during the incident.

That same evening copies of the effigy were made and touched to the relic of Veronica's veil and later sent abroad. These copies are typically noted to have a wax seal in the corner, indicating it was touched to the relic of Veronica's veil. TOURS, FRANCE; 1849-1876: Two of the copies were sent to Leo Dupont who continued the Holy Face devotion on his own throughout the rest of his life until 1876. Leo Dupont hung one of these images in his parlor and kept a crystal oil lamp in front of it, lit continuously as a sign of veneration. Soon afterward miracles of healings started to occur to those who said the devotion with Leo Dupont ("Golden Arrow Prayer", the "Litany of the Holy Face") and who anointed themselves with oil from his lamp. These miracles continued for 30 years and were so numerous that Pope Pius IX declared Leo Dupont to be perhaps one of the greatest miracle workers in Church history. The fact that so many first class miracles occurred through this devotion attests to the authenticity of the revelations from Our Lord to Sister Mary of St. Peter.

The Oil of the Holy Face that we distribute is made of blessed olive oil which was mixed with the Holy Face Oil which came from the perpetual oil lamp that burns before the image of the Holy Face in the house of Ven. Leo Dupont which is now: The Oratory of the Holy Face in Tours, France. Many miracles had been attributed to it in the past and it continues today in our times.

"By My HOLY FACE you will work MIRACLES" -promise of Our Lord to Ven. Sr. Mary of St. Peter SANTA TERESITA DEL NIÑO JESUS Y DE LA SANTA FAZ 1885-1897: It was a well-known fact the St. Therese of Lisieux and her family registered as members of the Archconfraternity of Reparation to the Holy Face at Tours France and that St. Therese herself was so devoted to this that she added the title to her name at the time she took the habit. This is why you will often see her referred to as St. Therese of the Child Jesus "and of the Holy Face". Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús y la Santa Faz Es precisamente este pasaje de Isaías que mueve tanto el corazón de Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús que por ello, pide permiso y le es concedido, para añadir a su nombre "del Niño Jesús y de la Santa Faz".

En una carta a Pauline, nos revela como su devoción a la Santa Faz es el fundamento para su espiritualidad del camino escondido y pequeño, espiritualidad que la llevó a ser proclamada Doctora de la Iglesia: "A través de ti he entrado en las profundidades de los misterios de amor escondidos en el Rostro de nuestro esposo. He entendido cual es la verdadera gloria. Aquel cuyo reino no es de este mundo me ha enseñado que la verdadera sabiduría consiste en desear no ser conocido ni tomado en cuenta. Es encontrar gozo en el olvido de si. Ah! Deseo, como el Rostro de Jesús, que el mío esté escondido y que nadie en la tierra me reconozca " (cf. Is 53,3). Tengo sed de sufrir y debo ser olvidada. (SS A 71r; ET 152). Santa Teresita llevaba dentro de su hábito y cerca de su corazón escrito sobre una imagen del Santo Rostro: "Haz que yo me asemeje a Ti, Oh Jesús". Para Sta. Teresita, el contemplar el Santo Rostro del Señor, significaba imitar todo lo que en El veía: un Dios con vida oculta, humilde, mansa y pobre; El Corazón de Dios siendo revelado en su Rostro. ara ella, también, esta contemplación le llevaba necesariamente a la consolación y recomendaba a su hermana Celine "se otra Verónica que limpia el rostro de Jesús lleno de Sangre y Lágrimas." La misma sangre y agua que fluirían de su Corazón al ser traspasado. Sta. Teresita invita a su hermana a consolar el Rostro de Jesús convirtiendo pecadores: "Consuela a nuestro Señor en su Agonía, revelada en su Rostro, pero especialmente calmando su sed de almas". En uno de sus poemas escribe: "¡Oh quisiera para consolarte ignorada del mundo estar! La belleza que Tú ocultas me descubre tu misterio. Tu Rostro Salvador es divina flor de mirra que tener quiero sobre el corazón! Tu Rostro es mi riqueza y ya nada pido . Yo Jesús me oculto en él y a Ti me asemejaré.. Deja en mi la señal divina de tus rasgos de dulzura, solo así llegaré a ser santa atrayendo a Ti los corazones." Para Sta. Teresita, la santidad necesariamente se debe revelar en el rostro, pues la abundancia del corazón se refleja en el rostro. Así como la santidad se refleja en el rostro, la santidad a la vez representa el verdadero rostro de Cristo. SS Juan Pablo II nos dice en NMI: "la santidad representa al vivo el rostro de Cristo" St. Therese of Liseaux said she would study the features of her father, Louis Martin (above), to understand the countenance of God [email protected] www.movimentodamoresanjuandiego.it www.conchiglia.net 42 Movimento d'Amore San Juan Diego MONOS-Único - Investigaciones Científicas y Humanísticas María Santísima, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Transposición de la Tilma sobre el Planisferio de Brown que asume la forma de una concha de mar.

REVELACIONES A OTRAS SANTAS DE NUESTRO SEÑOR A SANTA GERTRUDIS LA GRANDE: "Mi nombre es blasfemado por todas partes. Hasta por los niños. Es un pecado horrible. Mas que cualquiera, hiere gravemente mi Divino Corazón. Por la blasfemia, el pecador maldice mi Rostro, me ataca abiertamente, y pronuncia su propia condenación y juicio.La blasfemia es una flecha envenenada." Abriendo su Corazón Nuestro Salvador quejóse de la blasfemia; también le reveló que los dos pecados que mas le ofenden, sobre todos los demas, son la blasfemia y la profanación del domingo. Ofrécele mi Divino Rostro a Mi Padre; es la única forma de apaciguarlo, y detener su justicia divina. Si sólo alcanzaras a comprender cuán poderosa virtud encierra, es porque tomé sobre mi cabeza todos los pecados de la humanidad..." Deja que el alma que esté deseosa de avanzar hacia la perfección se precipite a mi Sagrado Corazón, pero quien anhele vivamente progresar aún mas y elevarse aún mas en las alas de ese deseo, deberá levantarse con la levedad de un águila y revolotee alrededor de mi Sagrada faz, llevado como un serafín, en alas del Todopoderoso Amor". Recibirán en sí mismos, por impresión de Mi Humanidad, una brillante irradiación de Mi Divinidad, y serán tan iluminados por Ella en lo más íntimo de su alma, por su devoción a Mi Divino Rostro, que brillarán en la vida eterna con un brillo que sobrepasará a la de muchas otras almas". PROMESAS DE NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO A MECHTILDE, (LLAMADA SANTA) Aquel que abrace esta obra de reparación (sobre el Divino Rostro) con verdadera piedad no perderá su alma, pues Yo mismo la defenderé frente a Mi Padre y le haré heredar el Reino de los Cielos. Le prometo la gracia de la perseverancia final". Holy Face Association Canada: P.O. Box 1000, Station A, Montreal, Quebec H3C 2W9 USA: P.O.

Será, la Santa Faz, verdadera ofrenda para que Yo aplaque los castigos que enviaré a la humanidad. En las casas donde se hallare, habrá luz para poder librarse del poder de las tinieblas. En los lugares familiares donde esté la Sagrada Faz de mi Hijo, daré orden a mis ángeles para que los señalen y sean mis hijos preservados de los males que caerán sobre esta humanidad ingrata. Hijos míos: haceos todos verdaderos apóstoles de la Santa Faz, y extendedla por todas partes. Mientras más extendida esté, menos será la catástrofe. 13 de febrero de 1.975 (segundo mensaje) Nuestro Señor Jesucristo Mi Faz brillará al fin de los tiempos y dará la Luz a los hijos de la Iglesia perseguida, a los hijos de las catacumbas. Cuando llegue el poder del Anticristo, y esta Faz se manifieste al mundo, todos mis hijos perseguidos se sentirán protegidos por la Luz que sale de mi Rostro. ¡Pobre humanidad que rechaza esta Luz, que no sabe que en mi Faz está el espejo de la Patria celestial, que meditando bien la Sagrada Faz se comprende el amor de todo un Dios, que se hace hombre, que se humilla, que sufre, que padece persecución, Crucifixión, y que después resucita para abrir el Cielo a toda la humanidad! ¡Pobrecitos los hombres! ¡Qué necios son! Sólo quieren poseer la tierra por medios materialistas, y no saben o no quieren saber que, para poseer la tierra pacíficamente, hay que adentrarse en esta suavísima devoción a mi Sagrada Faz. Cuando mi Sagrada Faz sea expuesta a la veneración de toda la humanidad, cuando todos mis enemigos me reconozcan como Rey, al contemplar esta Faz, entonces vendrá la solución para los problemas del mundo. Por otro camino, no lo busquen, pues no lo encontrarán.
