"Rejoice, My Daughter, because the hour approaches when
the most beautiful work under the sun will be born."
Our Lord To Sister Mary of St. Peter

PROMISES
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
To Sr. Mary of St. Peter,
Decalaced Carmelite Nun of Tours, France,
in flavor of those who honor His Holy Face.
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. 1 will defend them, I will
preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance.
FURTHER REVELATIONS
FROM OUR DIVINE LORD CONCERNING REPARATION TO HIS HOLY FACE,
...It is the express will of God that this devotion be established in every diocese; that it be most zealously propagated; and granted a papal brief so that it will never perish.
...This devotion is to have the TWOFOLD PURPOSE OF REPARATION FOR
BLASPHEMY and REPARATION FOR THE PROFANATION OF SUNDAY and Holy
Days of Obligation, the two principal sins which in modem times are provoking
the anger of God. Sr. Mary said, "He then made me see that this frightful
sin wounds His Divine Heart more grievously than all other sins, showing
me how by BLASPHEMY the sinner curses Him to His Face, attacks Him publicly,
nullifies HIs Redemption, and pronounces his own judgment and condemnation...The
Savior made me understand that His justice was greatly irritated against
mankind for its sins but particularly for those that directly outrage the
Majesty of God--that is, Communism, Atheism, cursing, and the desecration
of Sundays and the Holy Days. He said, The executioners crucified Me On
Friday, CHRISTIANS CRUCIFY ME ON SUNDAY."
...Each day, in a spirit of REPARATION, members are to say one Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be To The Father, and the "Golden Arrow" prayer. On Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation ALL the prayers of reparation are to be said.
...Members must refrain from work on Sundays themselves, and do what is in their power to see that others stop all unnecessary servile work on the holy days of the Lord.
..Members should wear a special cross with the words "Blessed be
the Name of God", on one side, and "Begone Satan!" on the reverse, which
gives a special resourcefullness to conquer the demon of blasphemy.
...Every time one hears a curse he should repeat the two short inscriptions
on each side of the cross, and he will thus overcome the evil one, and
render glory to God.
...The association is to be place under the patronage of Saints: Michael, Martin of Tours, Louis, Veronica, and Teresa of Avila.
...Our Lord desires that His Holy Face be offered as the exterior object of adoration to all his children who would be associated with this work of Reparation. His Holy Face is the very Image of God. "Offer It unceasingly to My Father for the salvation of your country"
..."The treasure of My Holy Face in itself possesses such tremendous value that through It ALL the affairs of My household can readily be settled."
..."If you knew how pleasing the sight of My Face is to My Father."
...This was the first revelation from heaven concerning Communism. Our Lord said that this devotion would defeat it. It is, therefore, the sister-devotion to the Fatima devotion--necessary to save the world. (There are many knowledgeable people who say that the present "collapse" of Communism is a deception, and that these devotions are needed now more than ever before.)
..Our Lord told Sr. Mary, 'Woe to those cities that will not make this Reparation !"
...He said, "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!"
...One can make a NOVENA OF REPARATION TO OBTAIN A FAVOR by saying the "Golden Arrow " prayer and "The Litany of the Holy Face" on nine consecutive days, preferably before the Blessed Sacrament or the picture of the Holy Face, and by going to Confession and Holy Communion.
These revelations and more are to be found in THE GOLDEN ARROW (TAN Books & Pub. Box 424, Rockford, Ill 61105). "This book is based upon and quoting authentic French manuscripts emanating directly from the archives of the Monastery of Discalced Carmelites, Tours, France, where Sr. Mary of St. Peter lived and died in the odor of sanctity."
In the absence of a formal association in a parish, individuals should say the prayers and follow Our Lord's directives as best they can.
OUR LORD'S REVELATIONS WERE FOLLOWED BY 30 years of miracles attesting
to the truth and power of this devotion. In 1885 Pope Leo XIII, by papal
brief, established this devotion as an arch confraternity; and contrary
to custom, immediately established it FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD. It was universally
practiced until a few years before World War I. THE NEGLECT OF THIS DEVOTION
AND OF OUR LADY'S REQUESTS AT FATIMA IN 1917, ESPECIALLY THE DAILY ROSARY,
was followed by two world wars, the murder or enslavement of billions of
people by Communism, and an unprecedented increase in sin and loss of faith.
This pamphlet has been printed in an attempt to revive this extremely important
devotion, which Christ wants to last until the end of time.

PRAYERS
OF REPARATION
as requested by Our Lord Jesus Christ. These prayers are to be said on Sundays and the Holy Days of Obligation, publicly (if possible), and preferably before the Blessed Sacrament or before the picture of the Holy Face.
Dear Lord, through the Sorrowful
and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I (we) offer You these
prayers in reparation for the sins which offend
God the most in these modem times--the sins of BLASPHEMY and the PROFANATION

Amen.
After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this "Golden Arrow", as torrents of graces streamed from It far the conversion of sinners.

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 modem 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.
