On the 23rd of January, she received a communication which she relates in these words : “I can no longer restrain my tears at the thought of what Jesus has just told me after communion; behold the terrible words of this meek Saviour: l The aspect of France has become hideous in the eyes of my Father, provoking his justice; offer him therefore the Face of his Son, in whom he has placed all his complaisance, in order to draw down upon France his forgiveness, else she will be severely punished. There lies her salvation, that is, in the Face of the Saviour. Behold, added he, the wonderful proof of my goodness towards France! Yet she repays me with ingratitude! Affrighted, the pious sister added: “Is it really thou, my Lord, who communicates this to me“? Our Lord replied: “Would you have been able to procure it yourself in your last communion? I have purposely left you in profound darkness for eight days, to make you discern that now it is my operation which you experience” Docile and convinced, she immediately began to say this prayer which she repeated continually: “Eternal Father, we offer thee the adorable Face of this thy well-beloved Son, for the honor and glory of thy Holy Name and for the salvation of France.”

Today, let us dwell on the state of our world and respective countries, and look at how far we have strayed from God’s commandments.  Let us turn in prayer to the Eternal Father, offering to Him the Adorable Face of Jesus styled after the inspired prayer of Sr. Marie de Saint Pierre from our Lord.

Eternal Father, we offer thee the Adorable Face of this Thy well-beloved Son, for the honor and glory of Thy Holy Name, for the salvation of Canada (insert your country’s name), and to counteract the divisions and discord sown by the enemy within the walls of Holy Mother Church.  Amen.
