To The Holy Face
Jesus, Who in Thy bitter Passion,
Didst become the reproach of men
And the Man of Sorrows,
I venerate Thy Holy Face
On which shone the beauty and gentleness of Divinity.
In those disfigured features,
I recognize Thine infinite Love,
And I long to love Thee,
And make Thee loved.
May I behold Thy Glorious Face in Heaven.
Amen.
