Behold Jesus Christ from autobiography of Sr. Mary of St Peter

The Golden Arrow The Revelations of Sr. Mary of St. Peter

The devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus is still not very well known but indeed a devotion for our troubled times. Considering the date of the revelations (1840's) the message is even more imminent in these perilous times. Sr. Mary of St. Peter (1816-1848) was a very holy nun but often plaqued with spiritual dryness, darkness, and temptations. The same mark of those given a heavy cross to carry in reparation for lost souls and carrying a burden for mankind. On page 184 Our Lord states to Sr. Mary, "I give you My Face and My Heart. I give you my Blood, and I open to you My Wounds." The corresponding devotions are the Holy Face, Sacred Heart, Precious Blood, Holy Wounds, and the Divine Mercy devotion. The Holy Face Message continues with, "The Story of Sister Maria Pierina De Micheli Missionary-Messenger of the Holy Face of Jesus". Sr. Maria Pierina (1890-1945) was responsible for having the Holy Face Medal and the Feast of the Holy Face recognized by the Pope on Shrove Tuesday. The medal of the Holy Face of Jesus was requested by Our Blessed Mother (1938) as a "weapon of defense, a shield of courage, a guarantee of love and of mercy in these times of sexuality and hatred towards God and the Church." Just as Sr. Faustina (1905-1938)was given the Divine Mercy Message especially important for our times. Sister Josefa Menendez had proceeded her (1890-1923).

Review from the Publisher

Few books contain as important a message as does this autobiography and revelations of Sr. Mary of St. Peter (1816-1848) about the powerful devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. The express purpose of this devotion is to offset the blasphemies and outrages of "Revolutionary men" (the Communists) - through whom God is allowing the world to be chastised for its disbelief - as well as of atheists and freethinkers, for blasphemy and profanations of Sundays by Christians. Specifically, this devotion is the divine tool given by God to defeat Communism, and an unfailing method for individuals in appealing to God through prayer. Our Lord gave Sr. Mary a short but powerful prayer called "The Golden Arrow" by which a person can "shoot directly into the Heart of God." The editor of the book states that this devotion brought St. Therese, the "Little Flower", to her great sanctity. Contains the 9 powerful promises attached to this special devotion.
