Learn to Pray the Holy Face Chaplet in Latin

The Holy Face Chaplet in Latin!

To pray this chaplet, start by making the sign of the cross with the crucifix.

1. On the Crucifix – The Sign of the Cross / Signum Crucis

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Deus, in adjutorium meum intende: Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.

O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

2. On each of the six larger beads (precedes each decade of six beads) in order say in honor of the five senses of Jesus. First of the sense of Touch, then Hearing, then Sight, then Smell, and finally Taste:

“O mi Jesu misericordia!” “Gloria Patri…”

“My Jesus, mercy!” and one “Glory Be..”

3. On the thirty-three small beads:

“Surge Domine et dissipentur inimici Tui et fugiant qui oderunt Te a Facie Tua.”

“Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all who hate Thee flee before Thy Face!”

At the end of meditating on the senses of Jesus, continue repetitions of “Arise, O Lord” prayer on the remaining three beads, to bring the total to 33, one for each year of Our Lord’s earthly life. On each of these last three beads, think about the wounds in His holy face from the slaps He endured, and from the crown of thorns.

After all of this, repeat seven times, in honor of the 7 Last Words from the Cross :

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

On the medal at the end pray:

“Protector noster, aspice, Deus, et respice in Faciem Christi Tui.”

“O God, our Protector, look down upon us and cast Thine eyes upon the Face of Thy Christ!”

Some additional prayers that are recommended to be said on the five beads afterward (from the revelations of Sister Mary of St. Peter in the Golden Arrow book):

1) May God arise and let His enemies be scattered and let those who hate Him flee before His Face!“Surge Domine et dissipentur inimici Tui et fugiant qui oderunt Te a Facie Tua.”. (Psalm 67:2)

2) May the thrice Holy Name of God overthrow all their plans!Nomen Trinum Sanctum Dei cogitationes eorum omnes depraedatur!

3) May the Holy Name of the Living God split them up by disagreements!Sanctissimum Nomen Dei viventis eas discidiis dividat!

4) May the terrible Name of the God of Eternity stamp out all their godlessness!Horrendum nomen Dei aeternitatis deleat omnem impietatem suam!

5) Lord, I do not desire the death of the sinner, but that he be converted and live. Domine, nolo mortem peccatoris, sed ut convertatur et vivat.“Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”Pater, dimitte illis : non enim sciunt quid faciunt. (Luke 23:34)

The “Golden Arrow” prayer (on the Crucifix):

May the most Holy, most Sacred, most Adorable, Most Incomprehensible and Ineffable Name of God Be always Praised, Blessed, Loved, Adored and Glorified, In Heaven, on Earth and under the Earth, By all the Creatures of God, And by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, In the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen”

"Sanctissimum, sacratissimum, adorabile, incomprehensibile et ineffabile Nomen Dei semper laudetur, benedicatur, ametur, adoretur et glorificetur in caelo, in terra et sub terra, ab omnibus creaturis Dei, et a Sacro Corde Domini nostri Iesu Christi in sanctissimo Sacramento Altaris. Amen."
