In Tours, France, during the 1840's a young Carmelite nun received a series of revelations from Our Lord about a powerful devotion He wished to be established worldwide - the devotion to His Holy Face. The express purpose of this devotion was to make reperation for the blasphemies and outrages of "Revolutionary men" (the Communists) - through whom God is allowing the world to be chastised for its unbelief - as well as for the blasphemies of atheists and freethinkers and others, plus, for blasphemy and the profanation of Sundays by Christians. Specifically, this devotion is the divine tool given by God to defeat Communism, but it is also an insturment given to the individual devotee as a seemingly unfailing method of appealing to God in prayer - through adoration of His Holy Face and Name. 

 

Our Lord gave Sister Mary a short but powerful prayer call "The Golden Arrow," by which a person can "shoot directly into the Heart of God" to heal the wounds inflicted on it by the malice of sinners. Of the nine promises connected with this devotion, the first three are: 1)"By My Holy Face you will work miracles"; 2)'By My Holy Face you will obtain the conversion of many sinners"; and 3)"Nothing you ask in making this offering will be refused to you." The editor says this devotion brought St. Therese to her great sancity. Anyone who is searching for a spiritual mehtod for fighting Communishm and its programs and/or who is searching for a virtually infallible mthod of prayer will be delighted with The Golden Arrow.
