PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN
(Prayer of Leo Papin Dupont, the Holy Man of Tours)
O Mary, Virgin most holy, I place myself under your protection, and
through you I throw myself with confidence into the arms of divine
mercy; to you I commit all the moments of my life and above all the
hour of my death, I commit to you my body and my soul and all that
belongs to me. Kindly receive once more my troubles and my fears, my
consolations and my hope, so that by your powerful protection and your
merits, I may have in all my actions, for one only and unique end your
good pleasure and the holy will of your divine Son.
PRAYER TO THE HOLY VIRGIN(To obtain the grace to live in union with Jesus redeeming Passion)
The sorrowful Mother was in tears standing beside the Cross
on which her Son hung.
Into her weeping, broken heart, the sword was pierced.
How sad and afflicted was the Mother
blessed above all, the Mother of the only Son!
How she suffered, how stricken she was,
the tender Mother, in contemplating her divine Son tormented!
Who could contemplate the sorrowful Mother of Christ
without suffering like her?
For the sins of all His people, she saw Him in His torments,
suffering the blows of the whip.
She saw her most dear child dying in desolation,
while He gave up His spirit.Please, O Mother, source of love,
make me to feel your sufferings so that I may weep with you.
O holy Mother, help to engrave
the Crucifieds wounds deeply in my heart!
As a good son, may I weep with you all the days of my life!

MEDITATION ON THE PASSION AND DEATH
OF THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS
FOURTH DAY
THE HOLY FACE IN THE GARDEN OF OLIVES
All kneel
All:Lord, I desire to search again for Your Face; so do not push me
far away from it on account of my sins; do not take Your Holy Spirit
away from me. Let the light of Your Face shine upon me; instruct me in
the way of Your commandments.
All be seated
Leader: Follow Jesus, who after the Last Supper is going to the
Garden of Olives to prepare Himself for His Passion. He kneels down
apart, in solitude in a lonely place. He prays a long time, lasting three
hours. His soul is given up to sadness, to fear, to the anguish of death.
From time to time, He interrupts His prayer to go towards His disciples,
to seek a little strength and consolation from them, but He does not find
it: I have sought, He says, for someone to console Me, and I have
not found anyone.You should observe three things here:
I. THE SORROWFUL CONDITION OF THE HOLY FACE. It
reflects all the impressions of His soul: It appears sad, desolating,
trembling; It sheds tears, sorrowful groans escape from His lips. See
also how, after having prayed on His knees, eyes humbly cast down, inorder to give more intensity and fervour to His prayer, the Saviour
prostrates Himself with His Face to the ground. Contemplate this divine
Face lowered even into the dust, pressed against an earth which has
been cursed following upon Adams sin and condemned to only
produce thorns and brambles; purified by this kiss of peace, by these
tears of the adorable Victim, our earth will see its inhabitants bringing
forth, following this, a rich harvest of flowers and fruits of virtue; but

Jesus takes the thorns upon Himself, He will crown His forehead with
them.
II. THE APPARITION OF THE ANGEL. At this moment the
anguish of the Man-God redoubles; he feels a kind of mortal agony; a
mysterious sweat, a sweat of blood, bathes His Face, trickles down His
forehead, and falls drop by drop upon the ground where He is
prostrated. An Angel appears to strengthen Him; strengthened by the
heavenly aid, Jesus rises, accepts the chalice which His Father offers to
Him; He will drink it with love and to the end.
Consoling Angel, you give me the example; I am envious of your
lot; I desire to put myself in your place, it is for me to raise up thisadorable and languishing Victim, to make up for Him by the tenderness
of my love and the generosity of my sacrifices; because it is for me that
He suffers and is humiliated; it is for me that He resigned Himself to
drink the chalice which His Father is presenting to Him.
III. WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. It is for you to offer and to
imitate, O Jesus! You never refused the help of others and the Angels
consolation.
Allow me, despite my unworthiness, to approach You and render
you the same service. Let me compassionate You in Your sadness, to
raise You from the ground and respectfully to hold You in my arms. It
is for me to prostrate myself to the ground, to humble myself in a spirit
of reparation; I associate myself with Your humiliations and Your grief;
like You I accept the chalice of trial, with you I bow my head andresign myself to the divine will, saying: here I am, Lord, I come to do
your will; this law will be always engraved in my heart; may Your will
be done, and not my own, not what I desire, but as you wish.
ACT OF ABANDONMENTOffer yourself entirely to God to do
nothing but His adorable will; make this offering in union with Jesus
praying with His Face to the ground in the Garden of Olives.

VIRTUE TO PRACTICE Do penance; move yourself to
contrition for your own faults and for those of others; accept in a spirit
of expiation the trials which it may please God to send you.
SPIRITUAL BOUQUET My nourishment, that is to say my joy
and my delights, is to do the will of my Heavenly Father.
All kneel
All: I have prayed before your Face with my whole Heart (Psalm
118:58): have pity on me according to your promise.
Let the light of Your Face shine upon me in Your mercy, Lord, I shallnot be confounded, because I have called upon You. All powerful and
merciful God, grant, we beg of You, that in venerating the Face of Your
Christ, disfigured in His Passion because of our sins, we may merit to
contemplate It eternally, in the light of celestial glory, through the same
Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
