The Nine Promises
Nine Promises from Our Lord to those who practice Devotion to the Holy Face.
These promises were collated in the 1880s by the original propagators of the
Devotion.
The first two are promises given to Saint Gertrude & St. Mechtilde,&
the seven were given by Our Lord to Sister Marie de Saint-Pierre:
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 more than any
others in eternal life.” [Saint Gertrude, Insinuations, Book IV, Ch. VII]
2. Saint Mechtilde asked Our Lord if those who celebrate the memory of His
Holy Face should never be deprived of His amiable company. Our Lord replied,
“Not one of them shall be separated from Me.” [Saint Mechtilde, Of Spiritual
Grace, Book I, Ch. XIII]
3. “Our Lord has promised me [says Sister Marie de Saint-Pierre] that He will
imprint His Divine likeness on the souls of those who honor His most Holy
Countenance.
[Jan. 21, 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.” [Nov. 6, 1845]
4. “By My Holy Face you shall work miracles.” [Oct. 27, 1845]
5. “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!” [Nov. 22, 1846]
6. “As in an earthly kingdom you can procure all you wish with a coin marked
with the prince’s effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven you may obtain all you
desire with the precious coin of My holy Humanity, which is My adorable
countenance.” [Oct. 29, 1845]
7. “All those who honor My Holy Face in a spirit of reparation will, by so doing,
perform the office of the pious Veronica.” [Oct. 27, 1845]
8. “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.” [Nov. 3, 1845]
9. Our Lord has promised me,says Sister Marie de Saint-Pierre, that all those
who defend His cause in this work of reparation, by words, by prayers, or in
writing, He will defend 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[12, 1846]
