To bring adoration of the Holy Face of Jesus to the whole world and promote reparation for sins against the first three Commandments.
O my Jesus! Cast upon us a look of mercy; turn Thy Face towards each one of us, even as Thou didst turn to Veronica, not that we may see it with the eyes of our body, for we do not deserve to do so, but turn it towards our hearts, that, being sustained by Thee, we may ever draw from that powerful source, the vigour necessary to enable us to wage the combats we have to undergo.
(1887 Manual of Archconfraternity of the Holy Face)
Pope Pius was beatified in 2000.
