A shroud with the image of Christ's face is on the front of the prayer card and on the back a prayer to the Holy Face of Jesus.
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; 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 soul of the
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.
