The August Face offered to our adorations is the in ineffable mirror of the Divine Perfections. Perfections which are contained and expressed in the most holy Name of God, as the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the visible sign offered to our adorations in order to represent his immense love in the most sacred Sacrament of the Altar. So in like manner, the adorable Face of our Lord is a sensible object offered to our adorations in order to repair the outrages committed by blasphemers against the majesty and the sovereignty of God of which this Holy Face is the figure, the mirror, and the expression. By the virtue of this Holy Face offered to the Eternal Father, His anger will be appeased and the conversion of the impious and of blasphemers obtained. It is true to say that blasphemers and sectarians inflict anew on the Holy Face of our Lord, the ignominies of His Passion. The impious who utter evil words and blasphemed the Holy Name of God, spit in the Face of the Savior and cover It with mud.
Whilst all the blows which sectarians give the church and to religion are the renewal of the numberless blows inflicted on the Face of our Lord and which caused the Divine Face to sweat afresh. Because impious men strive to annihilate the fruit of His labors. Veronicas are required, in order to wipe and to honor this August Face, which has so few worshipers. All those who apply themselves to this work of reparation, perform thereby the office of the pious Israelite.
