THE HOLY FACE AND THE LITTLE WAY
A Devotional Mission with Fulton J. Sheen and St. Thérèse of Lisieux
One of the most powerful but hidden devotions in the Catholic tradition is the Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. Promoted by saints, popes, and mystics, it offers the faithful a way to make reparation for sin, deepen Eucharistic love, and discover God's mercy shining through the suffering face of Christ.
The Holy Face and the Little Way is a devotional mission that brings together two powerful spiritual voices: Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen and St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Rooted in the mystery of the Holy Face of Jesus and the simplicity of the Little Way, this book invites readers to enter into a deeper love of Christ through acts of reparation, Eucharistic prayer, and trust in Divine Mercy.
Drawing from classic Catholic teaching, treasured devotions, and the lived spirituality of both Sheen and Thérèse, this book offers meditations, prayers, guidance for Holy Hours, and reflections for daily contemplation. It is designed as a personal retreat in print-one that can be prayed over days, weeks, or throughout the liturgical year.
Inside you will find:
Meditations from Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on the Cross, reparation, and the healing power of Christ's suffering.
The spirituality of St. Thérèse of Lisieux - her "Little Way" of confidence and love - united with her deep devotion to the Holy Face.
A treasury of traditional prayers, litanies, novenas, and rosaries of the Holy Face.
A practical guide to beginning your own Holy Hour of Reparation, inspired by Sheen's famous call: "Could you not watch one hour with Me?"
Scriptural passages, meditative quotes, and appendices are designed to help you pray more fruitfully and make this devotion part of your daily life.
This is a book for every Catholic-those seeking healing, deeper prayer, interior peace, or simply the courage to love God in the small things of daily life.
