PC-8 — Holy Face of Christ Prayer Card
Gaze upon the Face that saves
Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus — His sacred countenance battered, bloodied, and radiant with divine love — is one of the most moving and ancient devotions in the Catholic Church. It finds its roots in the prophet Isaiah's words: "There is no beauty in him, nor comeliness" — and blossoms fully in the image miraculously imprinted on the Veil of Veronica as she wiped the face of Christ on the road to Calvary.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux felt so drawn to this devotion that she took the name "Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face," believing that by contemplating the sufferings of the Holy Face she could draw closer to the heart of Christ. Pope Leo XIII approved the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face in 1885, and devotion to it has brought consolation to countless souls ever since.
This Holy Face of Christ Prayer Card is a powerful companion for those walking through their own passion — illness, grief, betrayal, or spiritual darkness. To gaze upon the Holy Face is to be reminded that He has borne it all, and that no suffering is wasted in His loving hands.
Perfect for: Lenten prayer, the sick and suffering, healing ministry, Holy Week devotions, sympathy card enclosures, and anyone with a deep devotion to the Passion of Christ.
