The purpose of the Crown or 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 Chaplet of the Holy Face comes to us from Sister Mary of St. Peter with the approval of Jesus. Its purpose is to honor the five senses of Our Lord, outraged in His Passion, and to entreat God for triumph over the enemies seeking to destroy Christ’s Church.
St. Athanasius, one of the great Fathers of the early Church, tells us that the Scriptural verse, recited on the small beads of the Chaplet, is especially hated by the devils more than any other verse in the Scriptures. “Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let those that hate Thee fly before Thy Face.” Psalm 67:2 The devils admitted that this verse always compels them to take flight. This particular verse is formally used in the official Exorcism ritual of the Church.
The Chaplet prayers are a powerful means of assisting Holy Mother Church in the needs of the present age when the Church is under aggressive attack by so many enemies. The daily recitation of the Chaplet is recommended to obtain the triumph of our holy mother, the Catholic Church, through the reparative prayers of the Chaplet offered to God the Eternal Father through the Holy Face of His Son.
This Chaplet is composed of a cross and thirty-nine beads; of these six are large beads and thirty-three small ones; to this Chaplet is attached a medal of the Holy Face. On the cross, which reminds us of the mystery of our Redemption, we begin the Chaplet. The thirty-three small beads represent the thirty-three years of the mortal life of our Divine Lord. The first thirty beads recall to us the thirty years of His hidden life, and are divided into five parts of six beads each, in honor of the five senses of touch, hearing, sight, smell, and taste of Jesus; and, as they were situated principally in His Holy Face, to make reparation for all the sufferings which our Lord has endured in His Face through each one of these senses.
