We declare that we have written this Month of the Holy Face in a spirit of humble submission to all the teachings of the Catholic Church.

We also declare, relatively to the terms of veneration applied to the servants of God, as well as to the facts stated to be miraculous and to the supernatural virtues of which mention is made in this work, that we do not mean in any way to anticipate the Apostolic decisions, and that we conform ourselves entirely to the decrees of Urban VIII, with regard to these matters.

J.-B. FOURAULT,

PRIEST OF THE HOLY FACE.
