The image on the front of this holy card is St. Veronica holding the cloth with which she wiped Jesus' face. It is accented with gold-tinted ink to reflect the light. On the back is the prayer of St Therese to the Holy Face of Jesus. Come as individual cards or in bulk packs of 25.
Prayer on the back:
Prayer to the Holy Face
O Jesus, who in Thy cruel Passion didst
become the "Reproach of men and the Man of
Sorrows," I worship Thy Divine Face. Once it
shone with the beauty and sweetness of the
Divinity; but now for my sake, it is become as the
face of a "leper."
Yet, in that disfigured
countenance I recognize Thy infinite love, and I
am consumed with the desire of loving Thee
and making Thee loved by all mankind.
The tears that streamed in such abundance from
Thine Eyes are to me as precious pearls which I
delight to gather, that with their infinite worth
I may ransom the souls of poor sinners.
O Jesus, whose Face is the sole beauty that
ravishes my heart, I may not behold here upon
earth the sweetness of Thy glance, nor feel the
ineffable tenderness of Thy kiss. Thereto, I
consent, but I pray Thee to imprint in me Thy
Divine Likeness, and I implore Thee to so
inflame me with Thy love, that it may quickly
consume me, and soon I may reach the vision
of Thy glorious Face in heaven!
Amen.
