Catholic Minute I Recently Discovered The Holy Face Devotion! (Ken)
The Holy Face Devotion is a forgotten Catholic practice within the Church. Sr. Mary of St. Peter played a key role in establishing this devotion as an archconfraternity for the entire world.

What is the history of the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus? When Jesus was born, our Blessed Mother and St. Joseph were the first to adore the Holy Face of Jesus. Veronica, during the passion of Jesus, broke through the mob and wiped Jesus' face. Tradition holds that Veronica's veil reveals to us, through a miraculous image, the face of Jesus. The veil is kept in St. Peter’s Basilica. We also have the Shroud of Turin as an object of devotion, revealing to us the Holy Face of Jesus.
Jesus said to Sr. Marie of St. Peter: "I seek more Veronicas to console and adore my Divine Face, which has but few worshippers. He made me understand anew that all those who devoted themselves to this work of Reparation would perform the same office as Veronica." [Our Lord to Sr. Marie St. Peter on October 27th, 1845]
Sister Marie de saint-pierre wrote: Man is invited to repair the outrages made to His God and in a loving return He promises to restore His image in our souls! Let us, therefore, wipe the august Face of the Saviour, soiled with the spill of blasphemers, and He will wipe our soul, soiled with the spittle of sin.
