The Golden Arrow Holy Face Devotion (Prayer)
- The Golden Arrow Holy Face Devotion (Prayer)
The Golden Arrow Holy Face Devotion is a prayer in the Roman Catholic Church which is believed to have been dictated by Jesus to Sr. Marie of St Peter and of the Holy Family, a Carmelite nun of Tours, in 1843. It is an Act of Praise and Reparation for Blasphemy. It is also a reparation for the profanation of Sunday and the Holy Days of Obligation.
It is believed that, on March 16, 1844 Jesus told Sr. Marie:
"Oh if you only knew what great merit you acquire by saying even once, Admirable is the Name of God , in a spirit of reparation for blasphemy."
This prayer is part of the Roman Catholic devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus and appears in the book “The Golden Arrow”, the autobiography of Sr. Marie of St Peter. In her book she wrote that in her visions Jesus told her that an act of sacrilege or blasphemy is like a "poisoned arrow", hence the name “Golden Arrow” for this reparatory prayer.
Words of the prayer:
:"May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable,":"most incomprehensible and ineffable Name of God ":"be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored":"and glorified in Heaven, on earth,":"and under the earth, ":"by all the creatures of God,":"and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, ":"in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.":"Amen."
