The purpose of the Chaplet or Crown of the Holy face is to honor the Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to ask of God the Triumph of His Holy Church.
This chaplet is composed of a Cross and 39 beads; of these 6 are large beads and 33 are small. To this chaplet is attached a medal of the Holy Face. (This version of the chaplet uses ‘sweat drop’ and ‘blood drop’ shaped beads to represent the sweat Veronica wiped from Jesus’ Face on the way to His Crucifixion and the blood stains that form the image on the Shroud cloth.)
The 33 small beads represent the 33 years of the mortal life of our Divine Lord.
The first 30 beads recall to us the 30 years of His hidden life, and are divided into 5 parts of 6 beads each, in honor of the senses of touch, hearing, sight, smell and taste of Jesus, and as they were situated principally in His Holy Face, to render reparative homage for all the sufferings which Our Lord has endured in His Face through each of these senses.
The remaining 3 beads mark the three years of the public life of Our Lord, and have for their intention to honor all the wounds of His adorable Face.
The chaplet consists of 7 Glory Be’s, which are prayed in honor of the Seven Last Words Jesus spoke while on the Cross and for the Seven Sorrows of the Immaculate Virgin, Mary.
This chaplet was composed by Sister Saint Pierre, a Carmelite of Tours, France. St Athanasius relates that the devils, on being asked what verse in the whole Scripture they feared the most, replied: “That with which the 69 Psalm commences: ‘Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered. Let them that hate Him flee from before His Face.’” They added that this always compelled them to take flight.
With this chaplet, we ask for the following… 1. May God arise and let His enemies be scattered and let those who hate Him flee before His Face! 2. May the thrice Holy Name of God overthrow all their plans! 3. May the Holy Name of the Living God split them up by disagreements! 4. May the Name of the God of Eternity stamp out all their godlessness! 5. Lord, I do not desire the death of the sinner but that he be converted and live. “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”
The “Mysteries”… 1st Mystery: Wounds of Jesus’ Face 2nd Mystery: Sense of Touch 3rd Mystery: Sense of Hearing 4th Mystery: Sense of Sight 5th Mystery: Sense of Smell 6th Mystery: Sense of Taste
