"The original Holy Face of Jesus engraved images which include a papal seal and certificate of authenticity are in a relic class of their very own. The certificate verifies that the image has been touched to Veronica's Veil, the True Wood of the Cross, and the Lance that pierced Christ's side. Since these images were touched to the instruments of Our Lord's Passion, which were drenched in His Blood, they have therefore been touched to the Blood of Christ. And so are considered 'Living Images of Jesus Christ'.”

Information on the veneration and devotion of the Holy Face of Jesus
PROMISES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
Revelations to Sr. Marie of St. Peter, taken from her autobiography "The Golden Arrow".
1. By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained.
2. By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God and draw down mercy on sinners.
3. All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica.
4. According to the care they take in making reparation to My Face disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin. My Face is the Seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God.
5. Those who by words, prayers or writings defend My cause in the Work of Reparation, especially My priests, I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom.
6. As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face.
7. Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory.
8. They will receive in their souls a bright and constant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendor in Heaven.
9. I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance.
"Write down these promises for they will make a greater impression on souls than all that you have already said regarding this Work, because these promises which speak of eternal rewards will greatly stimulate the interest of the faithful, which interest I do not condemn since I have given My life to merit the Kingdom of Heaven for sinners." Then our Lord added: "You will be guilty of an act of injustice if you do not make known these revelations!"
Our Lord to Sister Marie of St. Peter, 1843 - 1847 from The Golden Arrow
"I give you My Name to be your light in the darkness and your strength in battle. Satan will do all in his power to crush this Work at its roots. But I assure you that the Holy Name of God will triumph, and it will be the Holy Angels who will gain the victory in the conflict."
"I am not known, I am not loved, and My Commandments are scorned." Then He added the following words which actually made me tremble: "Sinners are snatched from this world and they are swept into hell like the dust that is carried away by the fury of a tornado. Have pity on your brothers and pray for them! With the veil of your tender love wipe the Blood which flows from My wounds. Love Me and be assured that when you raise your heart to Me in love, I will accept it from you and keep it in security."
"Rejoice, My daughter, because the hour approaches when the most beautiful Work under the sun will be born. Offer My Sacred Heart to the Eternal Father to obtain it."
But as I reflected on the obstacles that still stood in the way and wondered about them, our Lord said to me: "That is only the falling mist of the early dawn ushering in a beautiful day!"
"By My Holy Face you will work wonders!" He made known to me that He desired to see His Holy Face offered as the exterior object of adoration to all His children who would be associated in the Work of Reparation for Blasphemy. Inviting me to make known His Holy Face from this standpoint, our Lord then declared that the gift of His adorable Countenance which He presented to me on that day was, next to the Sacraments, the greatest gift He could bestow on me.
He showed me the sins of blasphemy and profanation of Sunday under the symbols of two pumps, with which men guilty of these crimes are drawing the waters of God's wrath on our country, and which is in danger of being submerged if the Work of Reparation, which He has given us in His mercy as a means of deliverance, be not established. After that our Lord told me that the Society known as the Communists had so far made only one outbreak, but that they were working secretly to advance their schemes. Then He added: "Oh, if you only knew their secret and diabolical plots and their anti-Christian principles!
Our Lord commanded me to make war on the Communists because He said they were the enemies of the Church and of her Christ. He told me also that most of these wolfish men who are now Communists had been born in the Church whose bitter enemies they now openly declare themselves to be. Then our Savior added: "I have already told you that I hold you in My hands as an arrow. I now want to hurl this arrow against My enemies. To arm you for the battle ahead, I give you the weapons of My Passion, that is My Cross which these enemies dread, and also the other instruments of My tortures. Go forward to meet these foes with the artlessness of a child, and the bravery of a courageous soldier. Receive for this mission the benediction of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Having been favored with this communication, I frequently call on the Blessed Virgin to be the depositary of these sacred weapons which her Divine Son gave me since she is called the Tower of David on which hang a thousand bucklers. Since our Saviour continued to grant me further lights on this subject I now said to Him, "Lord, give me a skillful hand, and train me to use well these weapons which You have entrusted to me for the combat." To this our Lord answered: "The weapons of My enemies inflict death but My weapons give life."
The following is the prayer I frequently recite to fulfill the mission entrusted to me: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ and all the other instruments of His Holy Passion, that You may put division in the camp of Your enemies, for as Your Beloved Son has said, 'A kingdom divided against itself shall fall.' "
Our Lord continues still to charge me with the mission of making war on the Communists. He supplies me with grace and light for the battle. The instruments of His passion serve me as weapons of war, while the Holy Name of God which is so terrifying to the demons, as also that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, serve me as ammunition. To further rouse me to this battle against God's enemies, whom I understand through a special light to be, indeed, formidable, our Lord said to me: "When a soldier knows that the reason for the war to which he is called to fight is an injury done against his ruler, he burns with indignation to avenge this insult, and therefore arms himself fearlessly for the encounter. Think now, My daughter, of the outrages inflicted on Me by this Society of Communists. They are the ones who have dragged Me from my tabernacles, and desecrated My sanctuaries. These Communists have also dared to lay their hands on the priests of the Lord, but all their plotting is in vain, because their schemes will not succeed! "Have they not committed the crime of Judas? They have sold Me for money! This information must not remain fruitless in you because I am giving you these facts in order to fire you with new enthusiasm to carry on the fight. Act in a spirit of simplicity because if you will indulge in too much human reasoning, you will not be an adequate tool in My hands. Think rather of the glory that will be offered Me by the whole heavenly court for having conquered such formidable enemies with such a puny instrument!"
I have entered the arena to battle with the enemies of God, and since I am engaged in this war under the banner of obedience, if I may so express myself, my soul is at peace. Fighting under this banner I feel safe, and I no longer fear the demon. Our Lord has given me the grace to launch an offensive warfare.
I begin by placing my soul in our Lord's hands, after which I beg Him to use my soul as He would a bow, urging Him to bend it so that the arrows would fly directly towards his enemies. After doing this I proceed to enter the battlefield, fortified with the Cross and the other instruments of our Lord's tortures as my weapons of war, leveling their infinite conquering power against the military entrenchments of the enemy, in the way He has taught me. Then I say: "May God arise and let His enemies be scattered and let all those who hate Him flee before His Face! "May the thrice Holy Name of God overthrow all their plans! "May the Holy Name of the Living God split them up by disagreements! "May the terrible Name of the God of Eternity stamp out all their godlessness!" Repeating other similar ejaculations, I continued to level these rounds of ammunition at God's enemies, and after I have beaten them down I add:
"Lord, I do not desire the death of the sinner, but I want him to be converted and to live. 'Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.' "
Our Lady of Fatima, 1917
“Do not offend the Lord our God any more, because He is already so much offended.”
Our Lady to Blessed Mother Maria Pierina de Micheli, 1936
“This (Holy Face) medal is a weapon of defense, a shield of courage, a guarantee of love and of mercy that Jesus wishes to give to the world in these times of lust and of hatred towards God and His Church. Diabolical snares are laid to tear the faith from the hearts of men, evil is spreading, the true apostles are few, a divine remedy is necessary and this remedy is the Holy Face of Jesus. All those who shall wear a medal and who make, if they can, a visit to the Blessed Sacrament every Tuesday in reparation for the outrages received by the Holy Face of my Son, Jesus, during His Passion, and those He receives daily in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, will be fortified in the Faith, ready to defend it and to overcome all difficulties, interior and exterior. Furthermore, they will have a happy death under the loving gaze of my divine Son.”
Our Lord to Blessed Mother Maria Pierina de Micheli, 1936/7
“I will that My Face, which reflects the intimate pains of My Spirit, the suffering and the love of My Heart, be more honored. He who meditates upon Me, consoles Me. Every time that My Face is contemplated, I will pour My love into the hearts of men and through My Holy Face will be obtained the salvation of many souls.”
"Perhaps some souls fear that the devotion to my Holy Face may diminish that to my Sacred Heart. Tell them that, on the contrary, it will complete and increase it. Contemplating my Face, souls will share my sorrows and will feel the need for love and reparation. Is this not the true devotion to my Heart?"
Saints and the Holy Face
Venerable Leo Dupont, Apostle of the Holy Face, by means of his relic performed 6,000 recorded first-class miracles, reportedly 10,000 in total. According to Pope Pius IX, Ven Leo Dupont is 'the greatest miracle worker the Church has ever had'. It is said that volumes could be published of the miracles that occurred in his room, yet he is not well known.
St. Padre Pio was known to pass around Holy Face Medals saying, “This is your entrance ticket to Heaven.”
St Therese of the Child Jesus of the Holy Face credited the Holy Face as being 'the source of all my piety'.

PRAYER TO OFFER THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER TO APPEASE HIS JUSTICE AND DRAW DOWN MERCY UPON US
Almighty and Eternal Father, since it has pleased Our Divine Savior to reveal to mankind in modern times the power residing in His Holy Face, we now avail ourselves of this Treasure in our great need. Since our Savior Himself promised that by offering to You His Holy Face disfigured in the Passion we can procure the settlement of all the affairs of our household, and that nothing whatsoever will be refused to us, we now come before Your throne. Eternal Father, turn away Your angry gaze from our guilty people whose face has become unsightly in Your eyes. Look instead upon the Face of Your Beloved Son; for this is the Face of Him in whom You are well pleased. We now offer You His Holy Face covered with blood, sweat, dust, spittle and shame, in reparation for the worst crimes of our age, which are atheism, blasphemy, and the desecration of Your holy days. We thus hope to appease Your anger justly provoked against us. The All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth to plead our cause; listen to His cries, behold His tears, O God, and through the merits of His Holy Face hearken to Him when He intercedes for us poor miserable sinners.
