Little Psalter of the Most Holy Face of Jesus
The following is from a priest friend of St. Michael Center. He wrote, “Our Lord spoke to my heart, saying:
Yes, I tell you, the Little Psalter is pleasing to My Heart and I shall bless those who seek My Face by praying the Little Psalter in My presence. Its value comes from the inspired Word of God that composes it. Each of the verses has a resonance in heaven, and in My Church on earth, and in Purgatory, where souls are consumed with longing to see My Face.
Pray the Little Psalter for yourself, but pray it also for those priests who have asked you to intercede for them. Pray it for groups of priests, and pray it for [the priests of] entire nations. Pray it for bishops and for priests charged with the care of souls. Pray it for priests who languish in the darkness and cold of lives from which I am absent because they, in their weakness, and blindness, and ignorance, have closed to Me the door of their hearts. Pray it for the dying — how beautiful it is to die longing to behold My Face in light. And pray it for the souls in Purgatory that they may be so purified as to gaze upon My Face in glory.
Use the Little Psalter in interceding for souls held in bondage to evil, and use it for the healing of the sick in mind and body, for the radiance of My Eucharistic Face penetrates souls and bodies exposed to its light, bringing healing and repairing what has been damaged, disfigured, or tainted by evil and by the effects of sin.
In doing this, you will discover that the Little Psalter is a prayer of adoration and reparation, and it is for this that I have given it to you and ask you to make it known… I give you this prayer for My own glory, so outraged and spurned by souls grown cold in sin, but I also give it to you for your own consolation after so much bitter suffering, and for the consolation of a great number of souls with whom I share My Passion, those who make up for what is lacking in My sufferings, in their own flesh, for the sake of My Body, the Church.”
