The Chaplet of the Holy Face of Jesus

The Holy Face chaplet is one of reparation designed to battle the enemies of God. It has seen a resurgence of popularity especially in recent years and has been strongly recommended by Cardinal Burke among other notable Catholic figures.  

The chaplet honors the Five Wounds of Christ and asks God for the triumph of His holy Church. The Five Wounds do reparation for sins committed through the five senses.

The most repeated line, thirty-three times, “Arise oh Lord, and let thy enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee before thy Face” has been reported by St Athanasius that the devils take flight from hearing this Scripture passage more than any other. When prayed in Latin, the language the devil hates this passage is given even greater efficacy as is included below. 

In 1884, Pope Leo XIII approved the Arch-confraternity of the Holy Face. Christ revealed to Sister St Pierre that this initiation of the Holy Face devotion is “the birth of the most beautiful work that has yet appeared on the face of the earth.” [1] He further relates that this reparative work is “His greatest consolation” and “the only means of appeasing the Father.” [2]

This message was sent just before the rise of Karl Marx and Communism and has been a continual means of combating the anti-Christian core of that ideology.
