The Holy Face and the Little Way: A Devotional with Fulton J. Sheen and St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Paperback, 237 pages

Discover the Holy Face of Jesus with St. Thérèse of Lisieux and Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

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.

In this new devotional book, Al Smith (compiler of The Best-Selling Fulton Sheen Anthology Series) brings together the voices of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen to lead you into the mystery of Christ’s Holy Face.
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.
