The purpose of the Chaplet 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. The meditations focus on the five senses, situated principally in the Holy Face, and pay reparative homage for all the sufferings Our Lord endured in His Holy Face through these senses.
On the Crucifix, make the sign of the cross and pray:
O God, come to my aid. O Lord, make haste to help me.
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.
