Promises of our Lord Jesus Christ

in favour of all those who honor His holy Face.

  1. They shall receive in themselves, by the impression of my humanity, a bright irradiation of my Divinity, and shall be so illuminated by it in their inmost souls, that, by their likeness to my Face, they shall shine with a brightness surpassing that of many others in eternal life. ( St Gertrude, Insinuations, book IV, ch. vii. )
  2. St Mechtilde, having asked our Lord that those who celebrate the memory of his sweet Face should never be deprived of his amiable company, he replied: “Not one of them shall be separated from me.” ( St Mechtilde, Of Spiritual Grace, book I, ch. xiii.)
  1. “Our Lord, said Sister Marie de Saint-Pierre, has promised me that he will imprint his divine likeness on the souls of those who honour his most holy countenance.” ( January 21st 1847.) “This adorable Face is, as it were, the seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing the likeness of God in the souls that are applied to it.” (November 6th 1845.)
  2. “By my Holy Face you shall work miracles.” (Our Lord to Sister Marie de Saint-Pierre, October 27th 1845.)
  3. “By my Holy Face you will obtain the conversion of many sinners. Nothing that you ask in making this offering will be refused to you. If you knew how pleasing the sight of my Face is to my Father!” (November 22d 1886.)
  4. “As in a kingdom you can procure all you wish for with a coin marked with the prince’s effigy, so in the kingdom of Heaven you will obtain all you desire with the precious coin of my holy Humanity, which is my adorable countenance.” (October 29th 1845.)
  5. “All those who honour my Holy Face in a spirit of reparation, will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica.” (October 27th 1845. )
  6. “According to the care you take in making reparation to my Face disfigured by blasphemies, so will I take care of yours which has been disfigured by sin. I will reprint therein my image and render it as beautiful as it was on leaving the Baptismal font.” (Our Lord to Sister Marie de Saint-Pierre, Novr 3d 1845.)
  7. “Our Lord has promised me, said again Sister Saint-Pierre, for all those who defend his cause in this work of reparation, bywords, by prayers, or in writings, that be will defend them before his Father; at their death he will purify their souls by effacing all the blots of sin and will restore to them their primitive beauty.” (March 12th 1846.)
