THANK YOU !! Your generosity has seen this Campaign of Reparation over the line!

You have been a part of something truly wonderful! And of eternal benefit!

Holy Face Devotion DIRECTLY:

Makes REPARATION for offences against the First 3 Commandments.

Counters the relentless pushing of sensuality and the homosexual agenda in the media, schools.

Confronts hatred of God and His Church.

Combats the advancement of atheistic Communism & Marxism in society. Such was all foretold long ago by Our Lord Himself and He has given us the "remedy" - His Holy Face!

You have also made all this possible!

Hundreds of thousands viewing Jesus' Face on 50 billboards & commuter squares at rail stations, busy roads & shopping centres!

3 Huge transvision screens in Heuston & Connolly Train Stations!

And this year, to counter the abortion threat to Northern Ireland together we undertook to display the Holy Face on:

114 buses province-wide bearing the Holy Face image.

7 mobile lorry mounted billboards at extremely busy junctions - Newry, Derry, Ballygawley, Cookstown, Moira and more besides.

Going Mobile! Holy Face displayed on lorry on busy roundabout in Northern Ireland

Continuous Reparation is the Key! Let’s keep going!

A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who took part in

the Holy Face vigils; who advertised them; who donated in any way; who prayed for the success of these acts of reparation on Good Friday!

Know this that your assistance pleases God greatly and has ETERNAL VALUE.

The Lord Himself promises in Sacred Scripture:

“If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Jesus has great promises to all who honour His Holy Face 1) All those who honour My Face in a spirit of reparation will by doing so perform the office of the pious Veronica. 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.

2) Those who by words, prayers or writing defend My cause in this work of reparation I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom.

3) By offering My Face to My eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained.

4) By My Holy Face, they will

work wonders, appease the

anger of God and draw down

mercy on sinners.

5) 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.

6) Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory.

7) 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 splendour in Heaven.

8) I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance. A Day of Infamy May 25th 2018

May 25th 2018 will probably go down as one of the darkest days in the history of the Irish nation.

Stripping away the last constitutional protection for the unborn child by popular vote was incredibly tragic and traumatizing for all those who championed the inalienable right to life of the unborn

child. By way of 1.4 million strokes of a pen and a further one by the President, one of the most extreme abortion laws has been introduced into the country. How on earth did we get to this situation and what can we do to restore respect for human life at its most vulnerable?

Legalised abortion is the ultimate public rejection of God and His laws. For many years now the people have strayed further and further from the narrow path of the Gospel, adopting relativism, secularism and a practical atheism.

National Day of Reparation May 25th 2019 Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus is the antidote to the Evil One’s plans for Ireland

Over 100 Nationwide Holy Face Vigils A Tremendous Public Witness of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus This year thanks to your wonderful generosity and efforts, together we increased the number of Holy Face vigils to over 100 up from 85 in 2018! Almost 2,000 people attended the vigils right across the country! Every year it goes from strength to strength! The situation in Ireland has become so dire that only serious reparation to God the Father can alleviate the Lord’s righteous anger against

Ireland in its continued turning away from the Gospel! Your participation plays a key role in God’s plans for Ireland.

God bless you. Thank you!

*** Book offer *** My Daily Bread

P.S. For your donation of €35 / £30 or more, I am happy to send you this wonderful little book My Daily Bread.

My Daily Bread is a series of short, daily reflections on the spiritual life. Written in 1954 with loving care by Father Anthony Paone SJ, this devotional will strengthen your love for Christ and His teachings.

With more than one million copies sold, My Daily Bread is a true Christian classic. Its simple, yet carefully crafted daily reflections have led thousands to a drastically improved interior life and a deeper love for Christ.

Written as a dialogue with Christ Himself, Father Paone leads the reader through the three ways of the spiritual life: Purification, Imitation, and Union.

Arranged for daily reflection, this pocket-sized book is an indispensible guide to the spiritual life. My Daily Bread overflows with reflections and prayers specifically designed to help you grow in the spiritual life and overcome failings, including:

• How to cultivate, recognize, and follow your

conscience (p. 18)

• A contemplation of the Four Last Things that will help

keep our focus on the eternal (p.25)

• The power of prayer as the first remedy to

temptation (p. 99)

• A detailed guide on how to conquer a host of bad

habits (p. 153)

• How to overcome our fear of suffering and instead

embrace it as Christ embraced it (p. 203)

• How to live for Christ daily through spiritual reading,

prayer, overcoming distractions, and cultivating

devotions

• Achieving union with Christ through the Eucharist (p.

382)

• And much more…

Each daily reflection begins with Jesus speaking directly to you, kindly, patiently, and with great love. The next part of the reflection asks you to consider the truths presented in the words of Jesus. The final part consists of a prayer asking God for help to receive His wisdom and use it fruitfully in your life.

This fabulous book My Daily Bread can be yours for your donation of €35 / £30 or more.
