Devotion to the Holy Face was revealed by Jesus to Sr. Marie of St. Peter (1816-1848) a Carmelite nun of Tours in France.
A visit to the Blessed Sacrament on a Tuesday in a spirit of reparation to the Holy Face bestows particular graces. Jesus appeared to Blessed Mother Maria Pierina de Micheli covered with blood and very sadly said to her: "Do you see how I suffer? Yet, very few understand me. Those who say they love me are very ungrateful! I have given my heart as the sensible object of my great love to men and I give My Face as the sensible object of my sorrow for all the sins of men. I wish that it be venerated by a special feast on Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. I wish that the feast be preceded by a novena in which the faithful make reparation with me, joining together and sharing in my sorrow."
In 1939 Jesus said again: "I wish that My Holy Face be honoured in a particular manner on Tuesdays".
