PRAYER TO OBTAIN THE SETTLEMENT OF ALL OUR NEEDS
O Eternal Father, since it has pleased our Divine
Savior to reveal to mankind in our present century
the power residing in His Holy Face, we now avail
ourselves of this Treasure in our great needs.
Since our Savior Himself promised that by offering to
You, O Eternal Father, the Holy Face disfigured in
the Passion, we can procure the settlement of the
affairs of our household, and that nothing whatsoever
will be refused us, we now come before Your Throne.
Offering to You, O God, this adorable Countenance,
disfigured with painful bruises and covered with
shame and confusion, we beg through the merits of
this Holy Face to obtain these, our most pressing needs.
Grant us pardon, Eternal Father, for the worst crimes of our age, which are
atheism, blasphemy, (abortion, added), and the desecration of Your holy days.
Avert from us destruction by war and its consequences which loom through the
malice of revolutionary men who have risen up to stamp out religion from the
face of the earth through false indoctrination, and who now stand ready to
impose their wicked designs with militaristic force.
May this offering of the Holy Face of our Savior before Your Throne of majesty
obtain for us deliverance from these evils.
Send us, O God, zealous and enlightened laborers, by conferring many vocations
to the priesthood and to religion, so that by their prayers, their works, and their
sacrifices they may spread the blessings of Your Church and confound Your
enemies. Amen.
