O Holy Face of Christ, Have Mercy on Us.
Official and Votive Prayer to the Miraculous Icon of the Holy Face, venerated by six million Bicolano people in the Philippines and displayed for veneration at the Basilica Minore of Our Lady of Penafrancia, Archdiocese of Caceres, Naga City, Camarines Sur, the Philippines.
" O Lord Jesus, in your bitter passion
You became a Man of Sorrows,
In your disfigured face,
I see in your infinite love.
I am consumed with the desire
to love you and make you loved by all men.
I venerate your sacred face
Because it is the human expression
Of the face of the Father
The tears in your eyes are like pearls
Which I desire to offer to God in
Expiation of my sins and the spiritual
salvation of sinners.
O Jesus your adorable face ravishes my heart.
And set me on fire with your love,
so that my only desire will be to contemplate your Face in heaven!"
Amen.
