WHAT’S NEW

Litany of the Holy Face
The Litany of the Holy Face is a deeply moving devotion that draws the faithful into intimate contemplation of our Lord’s sacred countenance. Through beautiful invocations, we journey with Christ from the tender joy of His birth in Bethlehem to the anguish of His Passion, and finally to the glory of His Resurrection and Ascension. This litany is especially powerful as an act of reparation, allowing us to console the Face that was spat upon, struck, and crowned with thorns for love of us. It is a prayer that can profoundly transform the heart of anyone who prays it with devotion.
Prayer Honoring the Shoulder Wound
This “Prayer Honoring the Shoulder Wound of Christ” invites us to contemplate a suffering of Our Lord that is often overlooked—the deep wound caused by the weight of the heavy Cross upon His sacred shoulder. Traditionally attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, this devotion draws our hearts to meditate on the immense physical agony Jesus endured as He carried the instrument of our salvation to Calvary. Through this prayer, we offer our adoration and gratitude to Christ for this hidden wound, asking for His mercy and the grace to follow Him faithfully on the Way of the Cross.
